Part Ⅱ Reading
Comprehension (40%)
Directions: There are four passages in this section. 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.
Passage 1
Questions 1-5 are based on the following
passage:
In some
countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for
granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There
are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are
countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by
pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear
to be reasonable men get up and calmly argue in favor of violence—as if it were
a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really
fills you with despair, is the realization that we have made no actual progress
at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts
remained basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human
race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing.
We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more
acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering mean nothing. No
solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the
smoking ruins and wonder that hit us.
The truly
reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and
harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by
their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law
enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good
use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at
improving living standards and providing education and employment for all, we
would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by
having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed
effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social
program. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are
everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are
always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.
Before we can
even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must
appreciate each other’s problems and learn about them: it is a simple exercise
in communication. “Talk, talk, talk,” the advocates of violence say, “all you
ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.” It’s rather like the story of the
famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After
listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he
was none the wiser. “Possible, my lord,” the barrister replied, “but surely
far better informed.” Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the
knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.
1 What is the best title for this passage?
A. Advocating
Violence.
B. Violence Can
Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice.
C. Important
People on Both Sides See Violence as a Legitimate Solution.
D. The Instincts
of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.
2 Recorded history has taught us _____.
A. violence
never solves anything
B. nothing
C. the bloodshed
means nothing
D. everything
3 It can be inferred that truly reasonable
men _____.
A. can’t get a
hearing
B. are looked
down upon
C. are
persecuted
D. have
difficulty in advocating law enforcement
4 “He was none the wiser” (Para. 3) means
_____.
A. he was not at
all wise in listening
B. he was not at
all wiser than nothing before
C. he gains
nothing after listening
D. he makes no
sense of the argument
5 According to the author the best way to
solve racial prejudice is _____.
A. law
enforcement
B. Knowledge
C. nonviolence
D. mopping up
the violent mess
【答案与解析】
1 B 暴力难以消除种族歧视。本文开篇就在讨论国家种族矛盾突出的国家用暴力来解决问题的做法，第一段最后一句提到“No solution ever comes to light…”明确表示暴力手段不管是在历史上还是在今天都没有真的解决问题。第二段重点讨论法制的作用，第三段进一步说明“交流、对话”是了解双方问题的前提。全文都在说明暴力不是解决方法，应该另辟蹊径。故选B。
2 D 第一段“The whole of the recorded history of the human race…has taught us
absolutely nothing.”明确提出整个人类漫长的暴力史。故选D。
3 D 第二段前两句“The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are
finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted
and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently
outrageous things as law enforcement.”真正有理智的人主张法制，反而遭到人们的轻视、不信任和迫害。他们发现要人倾听他们的意见越来越困难。A项“人们不听”，B项“遭人轻视”，C项“遭人迫害”，这三项都包含在D项内。故选D。
4 C 听后没有任何收获。None the wiser一无所获。主张暴力的人的论调为人们天天说沟通，谈判，对话，这些并没有带来实效。就像法官听完律师的长篇辩论之后说，我一无所获一样，但是至少双方通过了解对方的问题，而这也是真正解决问题的前提。故选C。
5 A 第二段最后一句，“Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work
within the framework of the law.”如果我们在法律的构架中进行工作，真正的持久的解决总是能实现的。故选A。
Passage 2
Questions 6-10 are based on the following
passage:
In the
democratic society, citizens are encouraged to form their own opinions on
candidates for public office, taxes, constitutional amendments, environmental
concerns, foreign policy, and other tissues. The opinions held by any
population are shaped and manipulated by several factors: individual
circumstances, the mass media, special interest groups, and opinion leaders.
Wealthy people
tend to think differently on social issues from poor people. Factory workers probably
do not share the same views as white collar, nonunion workers. Women enjoyed
outside their homes sometimes have perspectives different from those of full
time homemakers. In these and other ways individual status shapes one’s view of
current events.
The mass media,
especially television, are powerful influences on the way people think and act.
Government officials note how mail from the public tends to “follow the
headlines.” Whatever is featured in newspapers and magazines and on television
attracts enough attention that people begin to inform themselves and to express
opinions.
The mass media
have also created larger audiences for government and a wider range of public
issues than existed before. Prior to television and the national editions of newspapers,
issues and candidates tended to remain localized. In Great Britain and West
Germany, for example, elections to the national legislatures were usually
viewed by voters as local contests. Today’s elections are seen as struggles
between party leaders and programs. In the United States radio and television
have been beneficial to the presidency. Since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt
and his “fireside chats”, presidents have appealed directly to a national
audience over the heads of Congress to advocate their programs.
Special groups
spend vast sums annually trying to influence public opinion. Public utilities,
for instance, tried to sway public opinion in favor of nuclear power plants.
Opposed to them were citizens’ organizations that lobbied to halt the use of
nuclear power. During the 1960s the American Medical Association conducted an
unsuccessful advertising campaign designed to prevent the passage of medicate.
Opinion leaders
are usually such prominent public figures as politicians, show business
personalities, and celebrity athletes. The opinions of these individuals,
whether informed and intelligent or not, carry weight with some segments of the
population. Some individuals, such as Nobel prizewinners, are suddenly thrust
into public view by the media. By quickly reaching a large audience, their
views gain a hearing and are perhaps influential in shaping views on complex
issues.
6 What is the passage mainly about?
A. Freedom of
speech in a democratic society.
B. Impact of the
mass media.
C. Forces that
influence people’s opinion.
D. Necessity of
upholding ideals.
7 We can infer from the second paragraph
that _____.
A. gender
influences gender on people’s view
B. people status
influences their view
C. living
standard influences people’s view
D. ranks
influence people’s view
8 The expression “follow the headlines”
(Line 2, Para. 3) shows _____.
A. people seldom
have time to read newspaper articles
B. people think
the headlines contain the most important information
C. people often
get their opinions from newspapers or television
D. most people
look on newspapers or TV as misleading
9 Which of the following is TRUE according
to the passage?
A. TV programs
have a strong influence on governmental policy.
B. Chats on televisions are chief means for running for
presidency.
C. More and more
people show interest in politics because of TV.
D. Before the
use of TV, people showed little interest in politics.
10 It is obvious that the opinion of
famous people _____.
A. is often
ignored by the public
B. is seldom
expressed to the point
C. is often
imposed on the public
D. has a strong
influence on people
【答案与解析】
6 C 影响人们观点的因素。本文总分结构，第一段最后一句总领全文，指出个人背景，大众媒体，特殊利益集团和舆论主导人等因素会左右人们个人观点的形成。故选C。
7 B 由本文第二段最后一句，“In these and other ways individual status shapes one’s view of
current events.”可知，人们的社会地位决定他们的观点。故选B。
8 C 第三段主要讨论大众媒体对人们观点的影响。参考上下文，政府发现大众的观点总是趋向于和媒体观点一致。最后一句，不管报纸或者是电视上出现什么，都会影响大众对该事件的判断和他们个人观点的表达。故选C。
9 C 由第四段第一句，“The mass media have also created larger audiences for government and
a wider range of public issues than existed before”大众媒体为政府和公共政策事宜创造了大批的观众。后文接着论述，电视存在以前，政治选举都是地方化的，而现在公众可以收看或者收听电视和广播里进行的总统竞选。故选C。
10 D 讨论公众人物对社会舆论的主导作用。“their views gain a hearing and are perhaps influential in shaping
views on complex issues.”本文最后一句提到，因为公众人物知名度高，他们的观点一经曝出就会有大量的人知道，并引发很多人追随他们的观点。故选D。
Passage 3
Questions 11-15 are based on the following
passage:
France might be
described as an “all-round” country, one that has achieved results of equal
importance in many diverse branches of artistic and intellectual activity. Most
of the great nations of Europe excel in some special branch of art or of thought:
Italy in the plastic arts; Germany in philosophy and music; English in poetry
and the science. France, on the contrary, has produced philosophers, musicians,
painters, scientists, without any noticeable specialization of her effort. The
French ideal has always been the man who has a good all-around knowledge,
better still, an all-round understanding: it is the ideal of general culture as
opposed to specialization.
This is the
ideal reflected in the education France provides for her children. By studying
this education we in England may learn a few things useful to ourselves even
though, perhaps indeed because, the French system is very different from our
own in its aims, its organization and its results. The French child, too, the
raw material of this education, is unlike the English child and differences in
the raw material may well the account for differences in the processes
employed.
The French
child, boy or girl, gives one the impression of being intellectually more
precious than the product of the colder English climate. This precocity is
encouraged by his upbringing among adults, not in the nursery. English parents
readily accept their conversations to the child’s point of view and interest
themselves more in his games and childish preoccupation. The English are, as
regards national character, younger than the French, or, to put it another way,
there is in England no deep divisions between the life of the child and that of
the grown man.
The art of
talking to children in the kind of language they understand is so much an
English art that most of the French children’s favorite books are translations
from the English. French parents, on the other hand, do their best to develop
the child’s intelligence as rapidly as possible. They have little patience with
childish ideas even if they do not go so far as to look upon childhood as an
unfortunate but necessary prelude to adult life. Not that they need to force
the child, for he usually lends himself willingly to the process, and enjoys
the effect of his unexpectedly clever remarks and unusual sayings and of his
bright judgment of men and things. It is not without significance that the
French mother instead of appealing to the child’s heart by asking him to be
good appeals to his reason by asking him to be wise. Reasonableness is looked
for early in France, and the age of reason is fixed at seven years.
11 The author considers that France _____.
A. specializes
in the ideal of general culture
B. favors the
ideal of general culture
C. is a
specialist country in spite of herself
D. cannot help
being a specialist country
12 In comparing French and English
education the author indicates that _____.
A. a great deal
can be learnt by both countries
B. differences
should not be looked for only in the methods
C. the French
child needs far more training
D. the main
differences are in the children
13 The text suggests that the French child
_____.
A. is as he is
because of the climate
B. only
associates with adults
C. is not
treated as a child
D. is forced to
behave like an adult
14 By referring to French mothers, we can
conclude that they _____.
A. are the most
significant influence in their son’s lives
B. compare
goodness with reason
C. know how to
appeal to what is best in their sons
D. Identify
wisdom with reasonableness
15 Which of the following would be the
best title for this text?
A. France: The
Cradle of Master-of-All-Trades.
B. Children
Education in France and Britain: Compared and Contrasted.
C. The
Influence of British Education on French Education.
D. Characteristics
of French Children and British Children.
【答案与解析】
11 A 本文第一段强调，法国是一个各种领域全面发展的国家。最后一句“…it is the ideal of general culture as opposed to specialization.”指出，法国注重大众文化的普遍陶冶，反对专攻一个领域，法国的特殊就在于它的不特殊的理念，故选A。
12 A 文章对比了法国和英国的儿童教育，谈到了法国父母已成人化的方法对待孩子，法国儿童智力上更为早熟，而英国父母则擅长以孩子的方式来教育孩子。作者提到英国可以借鉴法国教育，但两者的不同其实不在于孰优孰劣，最后一段作者指出法国儿童的读物都是英国出版的，两者各有所长，可以互相借鉴。故选A。
13 A 文章最后一段指出法国父母希望自己的孩子尽快提高智力，对孩子气的问题似乎并没有什么耐心。而且英国的国民性格比法国更加年轻。这些信息可以得出，法国孩子被教育的方式就是像成人一样行事。故选A。
14 D 最后一段最后两句，法国母亲并不是通过要求孩子听话来赢得孩子的心，而是通过让孩子聪明智慧让他们获得理性。可见智慧和理性在法国教育里是不可分割的。故选D。
15 B 本文同时讨论了法国和英国的儿童教育，以法国为重点。B项较其他选项全面且更符合文意。
Passage 4
Questions 16-20 are based on the following
passage:
The latter part
of the last century there lived a man of science, an eminent proficient in
every branch of natural philosophy, who not long before our story opens had
made experience of a spiritual affinity more attractive than any chemical one.
He had left his laboratory to the care of an assistant, cleared his fine
countenance from the furnace smoke, watched the stain of acids from his
fingers, and persuaded a beautiful woman to become his wife. In those days when
the comparatively recent discovery of electricity and other hundred mysteries
of Nature seemed to open paths into the region of miracle, it was not unusual
for the love of science to rival the love of woman in its depth and absorbing
energy. The higher intellect, the imagination, the spirit, and even the heart
might all find their congenial aliment in pursuits which, as some of their
ardent votaries believed, would ascend from one step of powerful intelligence
to another, until the philosopher should lay his hand on the secret of creative
force and perhaps make new worlds for himself. We know not whether Aylmer
possessed this degree of faith in man’s ultimate control over Nature. He had
devoted himself, however, too unreservedly to scientific studies ever to be weaned
from them by any second passion. His love for his young wife might prove the
stronger of the two; but it could only be by intertwining itself with this love
of science, and uniting the strength of the latter to his own.
Such a union
accordingly took place, and was attended with truly remarkable consequences and
a deeply impressive moral. One day, very soon after their marriage, Aylmer sat
gazing at his wife with a trouble in his countenance that grew stronger until
he spoke.
“Georgiana,”
said he, “has it never occurred to you that the mark upon your cheek might be
removed?”
“No, indeed,”
said she, smiling; but perceiving the seriousness of his manner, she blushed
deeply. “To tell you the truth it has been so often called a charm that I was
simple enough to imagine it might be so.”
“Ah, upon
another face perhaps it might,” replied her husband; “but never on yours. No,
dearest Georgiana, you came so nearly perfect from the hand of Nature that this
slightest possible defect, which we hesitate whether to term a defect or a
beauty, shocks me, as being the visible mark of earthly imperfection.”
“Shocks you, my
husband!” cried Georgiana, deeply hurt; at first reddening with momentary
anger, but then bursting into tears. “Then why did you take me from my mother’s
side? You cannot love what shocks you!”
To explain this
conversation it must be mentioned that in the center of Georgiana’s left cheek
there was a singular mark, deeply interwoven, as it were, with the texture and
substance of her face. In the usual state of her complexion—a healthy though
dedicate bloom—the mark wore a tint of deeper crimson, which imperfectly
defined its shape amid the surrounding rosiness. When she blushed it gradually
became more indistinct, and finally vanished amid the triumphant rush of blood
that bathed the whole cheek with its brilliant glow. But if any shifting motion
caused her to turn pale there was the mark again, a crimson stain upon the
snow, in what Aylmer sometimes deemed an almost fearful distinctness. Its shape
bore not a little similarity to the human hand, though of the smallest pygmy
size. Georgiana’s lovers were wont to say that some fairy at her birth hour had
laid her tiny hand upon the infant’s cheek, and left this impress there in
token of the magic endowments that were to give her such sway over all hearts.
Many a desperate swain would have risked life for the privilege of pressing his
lips to the mysterious hand. It must not be concealed, however, that the
impression wrought by this fairy sign manual varied exceedingly, according to
the difference of temperament in the beholders. Some fastidious persons—but
they were exclusively of her own sex—affirmed that the bloody hand, as they
chose to call it, quite destroyed the effect of Georgiana’s beauty, and
rendered her countenance even hideous. But it would be as reasonable to say
that one of those small blue stains which sometimes occur in the purest
statuary marble would convert the Eve of Powers to a monster. Masculine
observers, if the birthmark did not heighten their admiration, contented
themselves with wishing it away, that the world might possess one living
specimen of ideal loveliness without the semblance of a flaw. After his
marriage—for he thought little or nothing of the matter before—Aylmer
discovered that this was the case with himself.

【答案与解析】
16 B 文章第一段交代有位科学家娶了一位美貌的妻子，当时电力的发现为自然科学的研究打开了新的大门，人们纷纷致力于科学研究，“…it was not unusual for the love of science to rival the love of
woman in its depth and absorbing energy”，作者戏称科学的热爱甚至胜过男女之爱，旨在说明当时自然科学研究的如火如荼。故选B。
17 A 文章第一段倒数第二句提到，“He had devoted himself, however, too unreservedly to scientific
studies ever to be weaned from them by any second passion.”他已毫无保留地致力于科学研究，任何别的激情都不能使他放弃自己的追求。虽然他爱娇妻也许甚于爱科学，但这爱情只有与对科学的爱互相交织，才显得更为强烈。综合对比，Aylmer还是更热衷科学。故选A。
18 A A项撒满，覆盖；使沐浴（在光线里），原文意为“这印记会渐渐变得更模糊，最后消失在猛然涌上面颊的一片光彩照人的红晕之中”是拟人的动词用法，不涉及比喻义。B项Aliment养料，原句意为“智力，想象力，精神，甚至感情，都能从各种科学探索中找到相宜的养料”是比喻义。C项根据原句，把没有胎记的脸比喻为“美轮美奂合乎理想的活标本”。D项把印记比喻为“雪里一点红”。故选A。
19 C 文章第二第六段对话部分，妻子对丈夫的提问主要是感到伤心委屈，“…cried Georgiana, deeply hurt;”虽然原文也提到她感到愤怒，但是妻子并没有气得话也说不出来，A项不符。故选C。
20 C 文章最后一段，第一句提到妻子胎记的位子在左脸中央，A项正确。后面接着描写了妻子情绪变化，胎记的颜色也跟着变化。D项形状像一只人手正确。C项胎记非常显眼只有在妻子脸色苍白的时候才会清晰可见，而平时她健康红润之时是隐隐可见，并不是很明显。故选C。

Education Aims to Avoid Prejudices
We often wonder
whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. During the process of
education, those who are educated will accept certain rules and principles,
which perhaps are under the control of the political propaganda or business
interests and can be regarded as prejudices as well. Nonetheless, I’d like to
argue that the education is still indispensible for developing people’s ability
of independent and critical thinking to avoid prejudices.
The roots of
prejudiced notions are perceived from the shortage of certain knowledge. Studies
indicate people are born with an innate tendency to be drawn to those similar
to them and judge those who are different. As a result, to learn about those
things and people which may be very unfamiliar with is very important to eradicate
the prejudices. The significant function of education is to offer people the
knowledge and facts about different cultures, thus to produce learners who are
well informed about both the similarities and the differences. Once people
understand the irrational nature of prejudiced thoughts, they will actively change
their original assumptions. Therefore, the knowledge gained through education
is the first step of eliminating prejudices.
According to
Martin Luther King, the function of education is to teach one to think
intensively and to think critically. In today’s world, there are still a lot of
people who have no access to proper education. Therefore, they have no idea of
what the world looks like and what is the most efficient way of addressing the
problems. This issue is rather obvious to some areas that suffer from ethnic
conflicts. If the youths across all ethnic, religious and sexual identities
should have ready access to high-quality education, one that equips them with
critical-thinking skills to objectively navigate their thoughts and actions, and
change their communities in positive and sustainable ways and inspire
generations after them to do the same, our world will be better as there will
be fewer fights caused by prejudices.
In conclusion, to
save man from the prejudices is one of the most significant purposes of
education. First of all, education will prepare people with a sound knowledge
base to support them to delve more deeply into critical thinking of social
prejudices and inequalities. Furthermore, the access to education will
encourage people to remain open to the differences and to look at the big
picture by engaging themselves in critical-thinking processes. In this way,
education is actually a powerful device for avoiding prejudices.
【范文点评】
作文的论题是“教育就是灌输一系列偏见的社会化过程”，要求对此观点进行评论，可以引用例子。写作的结构有多个角度，一个角度是教育是避免偏见的必要手段，论证教育的好处；另一个角度即同意上述观点，论述教育的过程其实是在左右人们对某件事的看法和认知，灌输一定的偏见，也可以从正反两个角度相辅相成论证教育的利弊，保持对教育的客观性看法。本篇范文选择从正面论证，教育对消除偏见的作用，第一段引出话题，阐明中心论点；第二段阐明教育提供知识，开阔眼界，这些是消除偏见的必要前提；第三段接着说明教育可以培养人们的辩证性思维，教人客观的看待问题，并举例论证。最后一段总结全文，重申观点。
