Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 30 points)

Directions: There are 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

Advertising can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertising aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television , although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters (招贴) are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertising is one the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen

4 foods, liquor (烈性酒) , tobacco and patent medicines have been built up largely by advertising. We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the customer. Since advertising forms it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking (萎缩) , advertising may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.

36. Advertising is often used to ______. A. deceive customers B. increase production C. arouse suspicion D. push the sale 37. Advertising is in the main paid for by ______. A. the customer B. the manufacturer C. increased sales D. reduced prices 38. The author says that advertising can increase demand ______. A. all the time B. in any circumstances C. in a growing market D. in a shrinking market 39. The influence of advertising cannot be measured ______. A. with a machine B. at all C. scientifically D. without difficulty 40. What the last sentence of this piece actually tells us is that ______. A. businesses usually do not pay much for advertising B. businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profits C. advertising could hardly convince people of the value of the goods D. advertising usually cost businesses large amounts of money

Passage Two

Nearly every writer on the philosophy of civil rights activist Martin Luther King,Jr. Makes a connection between King and Henry David Thoreau, usually via Thoreau’s famous essay, ‘Civil Disobedience” (1849). In his book, Stride Toward Freedom (1958), King himself stated that Thoreau’s essay was his first intellectual contact with the theory of passive resistance to governmental laws that are perceived as morally unjust. However, this emphasis on Thoreau’s influence on King is unfortunate: first, king would not have agreed many other aspects of Thoreau’s philosophy, including Thoreau’s ultimate acceptance of violence as a form of protest; second, an overemphasis on the influence of one essay has kept historians from noting other correspondences between king’s philosophy and transcendentalism. “Civil Disobedience” was the only example of transcendentalist writing with which King was familiar, and in many other transcendentalist writings, including works by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller, King would have found ideas more nearly akin to his own.

5 The kind of civil disobedience King had in mind was, in fact, quite different from Thoreau’s view of civil disobedience. Thoreau, like most other transcendentalists’ was primarily interested in reform of the individual, whereas King was primarily interested in reform of society. As a protest against the Mexican War, thoreau refused to pay taxes, but he did not hope by his action to force a change in national policy. While he encouraged others to adopt similar protests, he did not attempt to mount any mass protest action against unjust laws. In contrast to Thoreau, King began to advocate the use of mass civil disobedience to effect revolutionary changes within the social system. However, King’s writings suggest that, without realizing it he was an incipient transcendentalist. Most transcendentalists subscribed to the concept of “higher law” and included civil disobedience to unjust laws as part of their strategy. They often invoked the concept of higher law to justify their opposition to slavery and to advocate disobedience to the strengthened Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. In his second major book, king’s discussion of just and unjust laws and the responsibility of the individual is very similar to the transcendentalists discussion of higher law. In reference to how one can advocate breaking some laws and obeying other, King notes that there are two types of laws, just and unjust; he describes a just law as a “code that squares with the moral law” and an unjust law as a “code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” Thus, King’s opposition to the injustice of legalized segregation in the twentieth century is philosophically akin to the transcendentalists’ opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law in the nineteenth century.

41. which one of the following best states the main idea of the passage? A. King’s philosophy was more influenced by Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience than by any other writing of the transcentalists. B. While historians may have overestimated Thoreau’s influence on king, King was greatly influenced by a number of the transcendentalist philosophers. C. Thoreau’s and King’s views on civil disobedience differed in that King was more concerned with the social reform than with the economic reform of society. D. Although historians have over-emphasized Thoreau’s influence on King, there are parallels between King’s philosophy and transcendentalism that have not been fully appreciated. 42. The passage provides support for which one of the following statements about the quotations in lines 27-28? A. They are an example of a way in which King’s ideas differed from Thoreau’s but were similar to the ideas of other transcendentalists’ thought. B. They provide evidence that proves that King’s philosophy was affected by transcendentalist thought. C. They suggest that King, like the transcendentalists, judged human laws by ethical standards. D. They suggest a theoretical basis for King’s philosophy of government. 43. According to the passage, which one of the following is true of Emerson and Fuller? A. Some of their ideas were less typical of transcendentalism than were some of Thoreau’s ideas.

6 B. They were more concerned with the reform of the society than with the reform of the individual. C. They would have been more likely than Thoreau to agree with King on the necessity of mass protest in civil disobedience. D. Some of their ideas were similar to King’s than were some of Thoreau’s. 44. According to the passage, King differed from most transcendentalists in that he ______. A. opposed violence as a form of civil protest. B. Opposed war as an instrument of foreign policy under any circumstances. C. Believed that just laws had an inherent moral value. D. Was more interested in reforming society than in reforming the individual. 45. Which of the following best describes King in regard to the theory of “civil disobedience”? A. He was a pious disciple. B. He was a violent reformer. C. He was a strong opponent. D. He was a revolutionary developer.

Passage Three

When A. Philip Randolph assumed the leadership of the Brothehood of Sleeping Car Porters, he began a ten-year battle to win recognition from the Pullman Company, the largest private employer of Black people in the United States and the company that controlled the railroad industry’s sleeping car and parlor service. In 1935 the Brotherhood became the first Black union recognized by a major corporation. Randolph’s efforts in the battle helped transform the attitude of Black workers toward unions and toward themselves as an identifiable group; eventually Randolph helped to weaken organized labor’s antagonism toward Black workers. In the Pullman contest Randolph faced formidable obstacles. The first was Black workers’ understandable skepticism toward unions, which had historically barred Black workers form membership. An additional obstacle was the union that Pullman itself had formed, which weakened support among Black workers for an independent entity. The Brotherhood possessed a number of advantages, however, including Randolph’s own tactical abilities. In 1928 he took the bold step of threatening a strike against Pullman. Such a threat on a national scale, under Black leadership, helped replace the stereotype of the black worker as servant with the image of the Black worker as wage earner. In addition, the porters’ very isolation aided the Brotherhood. Porters were scattered throughout the country, sleeping in dormitories in Black communities, their segregated life protected the union’s internal communications from interception. That the porters were a homogeneous group working for a single employer with a single labor policy, thus sharing the same grievances from city to city, also strengthened the Brotherhood and encouraged racial identity and solidarity as well. But it was only in the early 1930’s that federal legislation prohibiting a company from maintaining its own

7 unions with company money eventually allowed the Brotherhood to become recognized as the porters’ representative. Not content with this triumph, Randolph brought the Brotherhood into the American Federation of Labor, where it became the equal of the Federation’s 105 other unions. He reasoned that as a member union, the Brotherhood would be in a better position to exert pressure on member unions that practiced race restrictions. Such restrictions were eventually found unconstitutional in 1944.

46. According to the passage, by 1935, the skepticism of Black workers toward union Was _____. A. unchanged except among Black employees of railroad-related industries. B. reinforced by the actions of the Pullman Company’s union. C. mitigated by the efforts of Randolph. D. weakened by the opening up of many unions to Black workers. 47. In using the word “understandable” (line 9), the author most clearly conveys _____. A. sympathy with attempts by the Brotherhood between 1925 and 1935 to establish an independent union. B. concern that the obstacles faced by Randolph between 1925 and 1935 were indeed formidable. C. ambivalence about the significance of unions to most Black workers in the 1920’s. D. regret that the historical attitude of unions toward black workers. 48. The passage suggests which of the following about the response of porters of the Pullman Company’s own union? A. Few porters ever joined this union. B. Some porters supported this union before 1935. C. Porters, more than other Pullman employees, enthusiastically supported this union. D. The porters’ response was most positive after 1935. 49. The passage suggests that in the 1920’s a company in the United States was able to ______. A. use its own funds to set up a union. B. require its employees to join the company’s own union. C. develop a single labor policy for all its employees with little employee dissent. D. pressure its employees to contribute money to maintain the company’s own union. 50. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Randolph assumed the leadership of the Brotherhood of sleeping car Porters in 1925. B. Other labor unions were among the obstacles in Randolph’s struggle for the benefits of the Brotherhood. C. The very isolation of the porters was good for the Brotherhood. D. Porters were diverse in their complaints.

8 Passage Four

In Democracy and its Critics, Robert Dahl defends both democratic values and pluralist democracies, or polyarchies (a rough shorthand term for Western political systems). Dahl arguse convincingly that the idea of democracy rests on political equality – the equal capacity of all citizens to determine or influence collective decisions. Of course, as Dahl recognizes, if hierarchical ordering is inevitable in any structure of government, and if no society can guarantee perfect equality in the resources that may give rise to political influence, the democratic principle of political equality is incapable of full realization. So actual systems can be deemed democratic only as approximations to the ideal. It is on these grounds that Dahl fends polyarchy. As a representative system in which elected officials both determine government policy and are accountable to a broad-based electroate, ploarchy reinforces a diffusion of power away from any single center and toward a variety of individuals, groups, and organizations. It is this centrifugal characteristic, Dahl argues, that makes poyarchy the nearest possible approximation to the democratic ideal. Polyarchy achieves this diffusion of power through party competition and the operation of pressure groups. Competing for votes, parties seek to offer different sections of the eletorate what they most want: they do not ask what the majority thinks of an issue, but what policy commitments will sway the electoral decisions of particular groups. Equally, groups that have strong feelings about an issue can organize in pressure groups to influence public policy. During the 1960’s and 1970’s, criticism of the theory of pluralist democracy was vigorous. Many critics pointed to a gap between the model and the reality of western political systems. They argued that the distribution of power resources other than the vote was so uneven that the political order systematicall gave added weight to those who were already richer of organizationally more powerful. So the power of some groups to exclude issues altogether from the political agends effectively countered any diffusion of influence on decision-making. Although such criticism became subdued during the 1980s, Dahl himself seems to support some of the earlier criticism. Although he regrets that some Western intellectuals demand more democracy from polyarchies than is possible, and is cautious about the possibility of further democratization, he nevertheless ends his book by asking what changes in structures and consciousness might make political life more democratic in present polyarchies. One answer, he suggests, too look at the economic order of polyarchies from the point of view of the citizen as well as from that of producers and consumers. This would require a critical examination of both the distribution of those economic resources that are the same time political resources, and the relationship between political structures and economic enterprises.

51. The characterization of polyarchies as “centrifugal” (line 11-12) emphasizes the ______.

9 A A. way in which political power is decentralized in a polyarchy. B. central role of power resources in a polyarchy. C. kind of concentrated power that political parties generate in a polyarchy. B D. dynamic balance that exists between economic enterprises and elected officials in a ployarchy. 52. In the third paragraph, the author of the passage refers to criticism of the theory of pluralist democracy primarily in order to ______. A. refute Dahl ‘s statement that Western intellectuals expect more democracy from polyarchies than is possible. B. advocate the need for rethinking the basic principles on which the theory of democracy rests. C. suggest that the structure of government within pluralist democracies should be changed. D. point out an objection to Dahl’s defense of polyarchy. 53. It can be inferred from the passage that Dahl assumes which one of the following in his defense of polyarchies? A. Polyarchies are limited in the extent to which they can embody the idea of democracy. B. The structure of polyarchical governments is free of hierachical ordering. C. The citizens of a polyarchy have equal access to the resources that provide political influence. D. Polyarchy is the best political system of foster the growth of political parties. 54. The passage can best be described as _____. A. an inquiry into how present-day polyarchies can be made more democratic. B. a commentary on the means pressure groups employ to exert influence within polyarchies. C. a description of the relationship between polyarchies and economic enterprises. D. a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of polyarchy as a form of democracy. 55. According to the passage, the author’s attitude toward Dahl’s theory may be best described as: A. Indifferent B. Bitterly critical C. Positive D. Quite neutral

Passage 5

A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner. The driver ignored her, so she repeated the question. Incredibly, he then closed the door--on her arm-- and drove off.

10 The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the driver's bosses at the Chicago Transit Authority --- a tax-supported governmental body -- heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment : a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, a CTA public-relations man, said, "That's pretty harsh penalty." Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $ 14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost." Yes, that comes to $ 560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition (建议): Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus , and I'll slam the door shut, stomp (用力的踩) the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $ 560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.

56. The nurse half-entered one of the buses because ______. A. the bus they wanted didn't stop there B. she wanted the driver to stop the bus C. she wanted to get some information from the driver D. she and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner 57. The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that ______. A. she couldn't get herself away from the bus B. the driver closed the door before she heard the answer C. she was dragged by the bus driver D. she wanted to get the driver's badge number 58. How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? A. Almost one block. B. Almost two blocks. C. Probably three blocks. D. Probably five or six blocks. 59. The bus driver's punishment was ______. A. being dismissed from the CTA B. being out of work for a week C. paying a fine of $ 560 D. working without pay for five days 60. Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? A. Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident. B. Because the bus driver had not been fired. C. Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.

11 D. Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh one.

Passage 6

"The US economy is rapidly deteriorating," says Mr. Grannis. "The odds of a recession are now very high , perhaps by the end of the year." There are already some signs that important pillars are weakening. Consumer confidence has fallen for the past two months. The housing sector, which has been buoyant, is starting to sink. Corporate profits are falling. Some analysts are especially concerned over the sharp fall of commodity prices. They believe it represents the threat of deflation, or falling prices in general. While this may be good for consumers, it could cause a global slowdown. "The Fed will have to act forcefully to arrest the deflationary forces," says Robert LaMorte, chairman of Behavioral Economics, a consulting firm in San Diego. But others counter that the central bank doesn't need to intervene. They argue the Fed should wait to see real data before acting. "The fundamentals are better than the stock market reflects," says Peter Kretzmer, an economist at Nations-Banc Montgomery Securities. Indeed, President Clinton tried to do his part to calm the markets during his trip to Moscow, citing the strong job market and balanced budget. "We believe our fundamental economic policy is sound/" he said. His comments echoed statements by Treasure to reflect a strong economy. On Sept. 1, the Conference Board released its index of leading indicators. The index rose 0.4 percent, prompting the business organization to predict that the nation's output should increase at a moderate pace for the test of 1998. The group sees little risk of recession in the near term. But what has changed is the global economy. Japan and the rest of Asia are in recession. The woes are spreading to Latin America. "I'm now convinced we are going to have a global economic recession," says Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Norwest Corp., a Minneapolis-based bank. But, he adds, it's not certain the US will slide into a period of negative growth. He rates the risk of recession at only 10 to 15 percent. "We will be responding to the world economic situation rather than leading it," he says. Still, Fed watchers don't think the central bank will act to try to save the world. "It's inconceivable the Fed could make much difference in Asia, or Latin America," says Lyle Gramley, a former Fed governor. After the last stock market crash, in 1987, the Federal Reserve acted quickly to provide liquidity to the markets and to lower interest rates. But the economy is in better shape this time. The banking sector is stronger and the financial markets have been able to respond to the enormous trading volume. "It is not the Fed's job to manage the stock market," says Mr. Kretzmer. But the Fed will keep a close watch on Wall Street. If the market were to shave another 1,500 points off the Dow by the end of September, "then the Fed would think about lowering interest rates," says Mr. Gramley. In his view, the Fed,s main concern will

12 be the impact of a sliding market on consumer confidence. Since 40 percent of the nation has investments in the stork market, any prolonged slide might make individuals feel less wealthy. They would cut back on vacations and "splurge" purchases. He expects the central bank to watch the next consumer confidence surveys and housing statistics closely.

61. Which of the following sentence is not true according to the author? A The fad if commodity prices is a hint of the deflation. B The US economy is on the edge of fall. C Some people think that the central bank should do something to waken the US economy. D The decrease of the is also a big problem of US economy. 62. What does the word "counter" mean in the first sentence of the third paragraph? A oppose B agree C support D think 63. In the passage, the author indicates that the central bank ______A would interfere with the sliding of the US economy. B would wait and see. C would not care about the stock market. D would try its best to restore the US economy 64. The passage present ______. A a discussion on how to deal with the economic problems B a discussion on how to respond to the Fed C a discussion on whether strategies should be made to the US economy D a discussion on what strategies should be made to the US economy. 65 Reading the passage we can perceive that the writer of this passage is _____. A angry B annoyed C embarrassed D worried
