PartIII Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) www.test99.com
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some www.test99.com
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 centre. www.test99.com
Passage One www.test99.com
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: www.test99.com
Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the www.test99.com
disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A resear www.test99.com
cher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. www.test99.com
The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. www.test99.com
Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tourn www.test99.com
ament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 www.test99.com
mistakes, a remarkably high number. www.test99.com
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Sur www.test99.com
prisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters.The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters. www.test99.com
There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. www.test99.com
If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of www.test99.com
refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball,the researcher argues. www.test99.com
He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be www.test99.com
misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. www.test99.com

51. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______. www.test99.com
A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup www.test99.com
B) analyse the causes of errors made by football referees www.test99.com
C) set a standard for football refereeing www.test99.com
52. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______. www.test99.com
A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World Cup www.test99.com
C) quite unexpected D) as high as in a standard match www.test99.com
53. The findings of the experiment show that _______. www.test99.com
A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball www.test99.com
B) the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors www.test99.com
C) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur www.test99.com
D) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot www.test99.com
54. The word officials (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______. www.test99.com
A) the researchers involved in the experiment www.test99.com
B) the inspectors of the football tournament www.test99.com
C) the referees of the football tournament www.test99.com
D) the observers at the site of the experiment www.test99.com
55. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? www.test99.com
A) The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45. www.test99.com
B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee. www.test99.com
C) A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. www.test99.com
D)An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition. www.test99.com
Passage Two www.test99.com
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: www.test99.com
While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great www.test99.com
success in many states ?a at least in getting people off welfare. Its estimated www.test99.com
that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994. www.test99.com
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been eut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent--twice the national average. www.test99.com
For advocates (代言人)for the poor, thats an indication much more needs to be done. www.test99.com
More people are getting jobs, but its not making their lives any better, says Kathy Lairn，a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Pricorities in Washington. www.test99.com
A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, www.test99.com
a greater percentage of single, femalea2headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down. www.test99.com
but for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as www.test99.com
well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory. www.test99.com
Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family, says Robert Rector, a welfarea2reform policy analyst. The reform is changing the moral climate in lowa2income communities. Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观)，which is much more important. www.test99.com
Mr. Rector and others argued that once the habit of dependency is cracked, then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards. www.test99.com

56. From the passage, it can be seen that the author _______. www.test99.com
A) believes the reform has reduced the governments burden www.test99.com
B) insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor www.test99.com
C) is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform www.test99.com

57. Why arent people enjoying better lives when they have jobs? www.test99.com
A) Because many families are divorced. www.test99.com
B) Because government aid is now rare. www.test99.com
C) Because their wages are low. www.test99.com
D) Because the cost of living is rising. www.test99.com
58. What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is that _______. www.test99.com

C) 50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare www.test99.com
D) the living standards of most people are going down www.test99.com
59. From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at _______. www.test99.com
A) saving welfare funds www.test99.com
B) rebuilding the work ethic www.test99.com
C) providing more jobs www.test99.com

Passage Three www.test99.com
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage: www.test99.com
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? www.test99.com
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) Clothes. People have be come conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform? www.test99.com
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. www.test99.com
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. www.test99.com
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. www.test99.com

61. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______. www.test99.com
A) still judge a man by his clothes www.test99.com
B) hold the uniform in such high regard www.test99.com
C) enjoy having a professional identity www.test99.com
D) will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform www.test99.com
62. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______. www.test99.com
A) suggests quality work www.test99.com
B) discards his social identity www.test99.com
C) appears to be more practical www.test99.com
D) looks superior to a person in civilian clothes www.test99.com
63. The chief function of a uniform is to _______. www.test99.com
A) provide practical benefits to the wearer www.test99.com
B) make the wearer catch the public eye www.test99.com
C) inspire the wearers confidence in himself www.test99.com
D) provide the wearer with a professional identity www.test99.com
64. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______. www.test99.com
A) are usually helpful www.test99.com
B) have little or no individual freedom www.test99.com
C) tend to lose their individuality www.test99.com
D) enjoy greater popularity www.test99.com

B) The Importance of Wearing a Uniform www.test99.com
C) Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform www.test99.com
D) Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms www.test99.com
Passage Four www.test99.com
Question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage: www.test99.com
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. www.test99.com
Those of us with strong support systems appear betterable to cope with major life www.test99.com
changes and daily hassles(困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those withou such ties.Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. www.test99.com
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is streng thened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移...注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ?a financial aid, material resources, and needed services -- that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. www.test99.com

66. Interpersonal relationships are important because _______. www.test99.com
A) they are indispensable to peoples social weel-being www.test99.com
B) they waken peoples desire to exchange resources www.test99.com
C) they help people to cope with life in the information era www.test99.com

There are three groups of English learners; beginners, intemediate leaners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general En glish skills. But what about students who want to lean specialist English for th eir work or profess- www.test99.com
inal life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to lean. A bank clerk, for example, wants to u se this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline polots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowle dge of the that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to workin g environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way speci alist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as Engl ish for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isnt ESP courses for almsot every a rea of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people w orking in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for busin ess English. www.test99.com

Bows and arrows, are one of mans oldest weapons. They gave early man an eff ective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow as used by near ly all early people. This bow had limited power and short range. However, man ov ercame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close rane. The long h ow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of w ood made a better bow than a three-food piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bo ws were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to surv ive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needed to pul l the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken plae in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bo ws also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contest, perfect scores from 40 y ards are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire a nd the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man. www.test99.com
