II. Reading Comprehension There are four six passages in this part. 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 one New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away be fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.

1. What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? A) Critical. B) Indifferent. C) Prejudiced. D) Positive.

2. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople . A) have to get familiar with modern technology B) are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations C) are attaching more importance to their overseas business D) are eager to work overseas 3. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means . A) being unable to think properly for lack of insight B) being totally out of touch with business at home C) missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D) leaving all care and worry behind

4.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? A) Connections with businesses overseas. B) Ability to speak the client’s language. C) Technical know-how. D) Business experience.

5.The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they and . A) better control the whole negotiation process B) easily find new approaches to met market needs C) fast-forward their proposals to headquarters D) easily make friends with businesspeople abroad

Passage two In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they’ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Let’s be nicer, ” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without competition.” Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well. Monopolies that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates. Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour. The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction ( 拍卖)，has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.

1. It may be inferred from the passage that . A) customer service in Israel is now improving B) wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please C) the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel D) Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones

2.In the author’s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel . A) if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management B) unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers C) if there’s no competition among companies D) without strict routine training of employees

3. If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, . A) they can have it fixed in no time B) it’s no longer necessary to make an appointment C) the appointment takes only half a day to make D) they only have to wait half an hour at most

4.The example of El Al Airlines shows that . A) revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterprises B) an ad campaign is a way out for enterprises in financial difficulty C) a good slogan has great potential for improving service D) staff retraining is essential for better service

5. Why did Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share? A) Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough. B) Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service. C) Because the service offered by its competitors was far better. D) Because it no longer received any support from the government.

Passage three Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour ( 吞食、毁灭 ) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters+ spiders never do the least harm 10 us or our belongings. Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six. How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a research of the spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.

1. Spiders should be our friends, because ______. A. they only eat harmful Insects B. they are great insect-eating animals C. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human race D. their harmfulness is the least

2. The difference between spiders and insects is that ______. A. insects have only six leg’s B. insects only cat plants C. spiders eat insects D. spiders have more legs than insects

3. One authority on spiders estimated ______. A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders C. the quantity of different spiders in England was very big D. that there were 6"000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field

4. In the last sentence the writer means ______- A. experts on spiders know exactly how much spiders eat in one year B. experts on spiders can only make an estimation of the weight of insects eaten by spiders C. authority on spiders know the weight of all the people in England D. authority on spiders know both the weight of the insects eaten by spiders and the weight of people in England

5. Which one of the following statements is the main idea? A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends- B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals. C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race. D. The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weight of all people in England.

Passage four In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually makes him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important" there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

1. Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author? A. Increasing their pay. B. Giving them more spare time. C. Making the work itself meaningful. D. Replacing large production lines with small ones

2. The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that______? A. the machinery is so complex that it should be fixed. B. The production lines are too large in modern factories. C. The bosses can create very little freedom of choices for workers. D. The machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules.

3. For a worker on an assembly line in a car factory, the job is not enjoyable because A. he can only make a part of a car B. he does not know what he is doing C. his life in spare time is more interesting D. the importance of his Job is not clear to him

4. In the article, the word " productivity" means A. the activity of producing something B. the production volume in a time unit C. the plan and the method of production D. both the quantity and quality of a product

5. The best title for this passage may be _____ A. Problems of Modern Workers B. Making Jobs More Interesting C. Pushing Workers to Product More D. How to Improve Labor Productivity III. Cloze

Today, most countries in the world have canals. Many countries have built canals near the coast, and parallel 1 the coast. Even in the twentieth century, goods can be moved more cheaply by boat than by any other 2 of transport. These 3 make it possible for boats to travel 4 ports along the coast without being 5 to the dangers of the open. Some canals, such as the Suez and the Panama, save ships weeks of time by making their 6 a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not 7 on the coast, still other canals 8 lands where there is too much water, help to 9 fields where there is not enough water, and 10 water power for factories and mills. The size of a canal 11 on the kind of boats going through it. The canal must be wide enough to permit two of the largest boats using it to 12 each other easily. It must be deep enough to leave about two feet of water 13 the keel of the largest boat using the canal. When the planet Mars was first 14 through a telescope, people saw that the round disk of the planet was criss-crossed by a 15 of strange blue-green lines. These were called“canals”16 they looked the same as canals on earth 17 are viewed from an airplane. However, scientists are now 18 that the Martian phenomena are really not canals. The photographs 19 from space-ships have helped us to 20 the truth about the Martia“canals”. 1. A. off B. with C. to D. by 2. A. way B. means C. method D. approach 3.

There are more than forty universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960.During the 1960s eight completely new ones were founded, and ten other new ones were created 1 converting old colleges of technology into universities. In the same period the 2 of students more than doubled, from 70000 to 3 than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen 4 twenty- one were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are private institutions. Each has its 5 governing councils, 6 some local businessmen and local politicians as 7 a few academics(大学教师). The state began to give grants to them fifty years 8 , and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its 9 from state grants. Students have to 10 fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place 11 he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs, including lodging and 12 unless his parents are 13. Most 14 take jobs in the summer 15 about six weeks, but they do not normally do outside 16 during the academic year. The Department of Education takes 17 for the payment which cover the whole expenditure of the 18 , but it does not exercise direct control. It can have an important influence 19 new developments through its power to distribute funds, but it takes the advice of the University Grants Committee, a body which is mainly 20 of academics.

Reading involves looking at graphic symbols and formulating mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 1 over the centuries. During the 1950's and 1960's especially, increased attention has been devoted to 2 the reading process. 3 specialists agree that reading 4 a complex organization of higher mental 5 , they disagree 6 the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 7 reading as simply the decoding of symbol into the sounds they stand 8 . These authorities 9 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is 10 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 11 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 12 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 13 reads. Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 14 .By some expert they would not be 15 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one use. By the most 16 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 17 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 18 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do 19 widely and enthusiastically. 20 reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas. 1.

I hope she won’t be modest about her achievements. Perhaps she will have completed her dissertation and her two books and moved on to some new work that’s exciting or dangerous or both. I’d like to hear all about it. After that I’m going to phone the friend who laughed at me for believing all the stories I hear. Then I’ll tell her a story: the tale of a woman who bought her own version of that bridge in Brooklin and found that it was a wise investment after all. 2 、 After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpool accent suddenly becomes impossible to interpret after his easily understood words on screen; a secretary’s clipped tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be.

A lobby, elevator, or room that has not been maintained properly, that looks shabby, or that contains items requiring repair creates a bad impression on the guest. And of course, inadequate air conditioning, poor heating, or improper plumbing will result in immediate complaints. The guest pays a substantial amount of money for accommodations and expects the equipment to function at least as well as it does at home. Therefore, the chief engineer and staff have an important role to fulfill in satisfying the guests' demands and thus helping to maintain the profit level for the hotel. At the same time, the engineering department's cost must be properly monitored and controlled.
