Reading comprehension (40 points)

Section 1　Multiple choice (20

points)

Directions:

In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice

questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your ANSWER

SHEET.

Passage A

The importance

and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is

reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these

books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not limited to, journalism

and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the “how to” aspects of

journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview,

its context, and implications. Much of the “how to” material is based on

personal experiences and general impressions. As we know, in journalism as in

other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional

practice, such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized

principles can be developed.

There is, as has

been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and

broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the

study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as

numerous research articles on interviewing in fields other than journalism have

been written. Many of these books and articles present the theoretical and

empirical aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers.

Unhappily, this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little

attention to the journalistic interview. The fact that the general literature

on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic interview seems to be

surprising for two reasons. First, it seems likely that most people in modem

Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive manner, with

journalistic interviewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us

are probably somewhat familiar with the clinical interview, such as that

conducted by physicians and psychologists. In these situations the professional

person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the

diagnosis and treatment of the person seeking help. Another familiar situation

is the job interview. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed

personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a

vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as

readers, listeners, and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the

journalistic interview, especially television interviews, requires thoughtful

analyses and even study, as this book indicates.

21 The main idea of the first paragraph is

that _____.

A. generalized principles for journalistic interviews are the chief

concern for writers on journalism

B. importance should be attached to the systematic study of

journalistic interviewing

C. concepts and contextual implications are of secondary importance

to journalistic interviewing

D. personal experiences and general impressions should be excluded

from journalistic interviews

22 Much research has been done on

interviews in general _____.

A. so the training of journalistic interviewers has likewise been

strengthened

B. though the study of the interviewing techniques hasn’t received much attention

C. but journalistic interviewing as a specific field has

unfortunately been neglected

D. and there has also been a dramatic growth in the study of

journalistic interviewing

23 Westerners are familiar with the

journalistic interview, _____.

A. but most of them wish to stay away from it

B. and many of them hope to be interviewed some day

C. and many of them would like to acquire a true understanding of it

D. but most of them may not have been interviewed in person

24 Who is the interviewee in a clinical

interview?

A. The patient.

B. The physician.

C. The journalist.

D. The psychologist.

25 The passage is most likely a part of

_____.

A. a news article

B. a journalistic interview

C. a research report

D. a preface

【答案与解析】

21 B  第一段倒数第二句“As we

know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic

study of professional practice”也就是说新闻学像其他领域一样，对它的系统研究能使我们学到很多东西。本段第二句也说到现在很多新闻学文献或书籍强调的是怎么做新闻采访，而不是帮我们了解采访的概念、情境和意义。第三句说到这些指导怎么做新闻采访的书籍也都是基于个人经验和印象。所以可以看出，作者认为应该重视对新闻采访这一领域的系统研究。故答案为B。

22 C  由第二段第四句“Unhappily,

this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to

the journalistic interview.”可知，有很多关于采访的一般性文献，但是很遗憾的是，这些文献几乎都没有讲到新闻采访，说明新闻采访这个领域被忽视了。故答案为C。

23 D  文章第二段倒数第三句说，“然而，我们之中很少有人真正地受到过媒体的采访，尤其是电视采访。”由此可见，西方人虽然对新闻采访很熟悉，但是大多数人都未被采访过。故答案为D。

24 A  第二段第六句“Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the

clinical interview, such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists.”也就是说clinical interview是由医生physician和心理医生psychologist实施的，所以指的是诊断面谈，即面诊。所以被面谈者当然是病人。故答案为A。

25 D  文末“…true

understanding of the journalistic interview, especially television interviews,

requires thoughtful analyses and even study, as this book indicates…”意思是说要想真正认识新闻采访，需要分析和研究，正如这本书里所讲。可以推断本文是某书籍的序言。故答案为D。

Passage B

Engineering

students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when

it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I

wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with

my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous

reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.

I chose to study

engineering at a small liberal-arts university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering.

Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons.

I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value

system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision

by interacting with people who weren’t

studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised

me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18

years, and I believed them.

I headed off to

college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to

big engineering “factories” where they didn’t

care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer:

technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one.

Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble

ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three

years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with

liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering

students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.

The reality that

has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that

engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t

mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in

very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to

reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

26 The author chose to study engineering

at a small liberal-arts university because he _____.

A. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals

B. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality

C. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist

D. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in

college

27 According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal

arts, engineering students can _____.

A. broaden their horizons

B. become noble idealists

C. receive guidance in their careers

D. balance engineering and the liberal arts

28 In the eyes of the author, a successful

engineering student is expected _____.

A. to be imaginative with a value system to guide him

B. to be a technical genius with a wide vision

C. to have an excellent academic record

D. to be wise and mature

29 The author’s

experience shows that he was _____.

A. creative

B. irrational

C. ambitious

D. unrealistic

30 The underlined word “they” in “…together they threaten to confuse.” (Para. 5)

refers to _____.

A. practicality and rationality

B. engineering and the liberal arts

C. reality and noble ideals

D. flexibility and a value system

【答案与解析】

26 C  第三段最后一句“I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and

sensitive humanist all in one.”说明作者既想成为一个技术人才又想成为人文主义者，合二为一。故答案为C。

27 A  文章第二段“I wanted to open my eyes

and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering.”中expand my vision 与选项A的broaden

their horizons属于同义替代。故答案为A。

28 B  第三段最后一句“I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and

sensitive humanist all in one.”第一段中也说到作者想和文科学生交流，开阔眼界。故答案为B。

29 D  第二段第二句“…this was not a practical

choice…”，可以看出作者知道去文科院校学工程专业的选择不实际unrealistic。故答案为D。

30 B  they是代词，一定是指代前面句子中提到的对象，定位到最后一段第一句“…engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t

mix as easily as I assumed in high school.”说明工程学和人文学科是不相融的。本句中together they threaten融合到一起就会形成威胁，与前文意思相对应。故答案为B。

questions (20 points)

Directions: Read the following passages and then answer

IN COMPLETE SENTENCES the questions which follow each passage. Use only

information from the passage you have just read and write your answer in the

corresponding space in your ANSWER SHEET.

Questions 31-32

Half a century

ago a radio astronomer called Frank Drake thought of a way to calculate the

likelihood of establishing contact with aliens. He suggested the following

figures should be multiplied: how many stars are formed in the galaxy in a

year; what fraction of these have planets and thus form solar systems; the

average number of planets per solar system that have the potential to support

life; on what percentage of those where it is possible do such biospheres

actually form; what percentage of such biospheres give rise to intelligent

species; what percentage of intelligent life is able to transmit signals into

space; and for how long could such intelligence keeps sending signals.

This calculation

became celebrated as the Drake equation—perhaps the best attempt so far to tame

a wild guess. Most of the terms remain hard to tie down, although there is a

consensus that about ten stars are formed per year in the galaxy. Also, recent

searches for extrasolar planets have concluded that planets are not rare.

At the AAAS, Dr

Drake reflected on his search for alien signals. One reason this is hard is

that radio telescopes must chop the spectrum into fine portions to study it,

like tuning into a signal on a car radio. Another is the tradeoff between a

telescope’s field of view and its

magnification. Small telescopes see a lot of sky but can detect only strong

signals. Large ones, which can detect weak signals, have a narrow focus.

Astronomers therefore have difficulty looking both carefully and

comprehensively.

Dr Drake said

there may be another difficulty. Researchers tend to look for signals similar

to those now made by humanity. The Earth, though, is getting quieter because

the rise of spread-spectrum communication makes stray emissions less likely

than in the past.

Spread-spectrum

works by smearing a message across a wide range of frequencies. That has the

advantages of combating noise and allowing many signals to be sent at once. But

it also makes those signals hard for eavesdroppers to hear (which is why

spread-spectrum is beloved by military men). If technologically sophisticated

aliens came to the same conclusions, and thus used spread-spectrum technology,

humans would have a hard time hearing them. Dr Drake suggests, therefore, that

there might be only a narrow window of time in the development of

civilizations, analogous to the past 50 years on Earth, during which noisy

electromagnetic signals are generated in large amounts.

It is, however,

also possible that someone is actively trying to send signals to the Earth. If

that were the case, the best way to do this, reckons Paul Horowitz, a physicist

at Harvard, is with a laser.

Although radio

power has changed little over the decades, the power of lasers has grown

exponentially. Today’s most powerful versions

can shine ten thousand times brighter than the sun, though only for a billionth

of a second. If aliens have made similar progress, and point a laser towards

the Earth’s solar system, such brief flashes

would be detectable at a distance of many tight-years. Dr Horowitz has already

set up one suitable detector and this, because no huge magnification is

involved, is capable of looking at broad swathes of sky.

There is also

potential for improvement on the radio side. For many years, the Arecibo

telescope in Puerto Rico, which is 300 metres across, has led the search for

alien life. Now the Chinese are building a 500-metre telescope, known as FAST,

in Guizhou province, and an international collaboration called the Square

Kilometer Array is trying, as its name suggests, to build a grid of

radio-telescopes over a square kilometer of land in either South Africa or

Australia. Both may be helpful. As indeed may a large new telescope in northern

California built by Paul Allen, a co-founder of Microsoft.

Many of the

terms in the Drake equation are likely to remain elusive, so it is still

impossible to predict how likely such efforts are to succeed. But even after 50

fruitless years—if the eagerness in the eyes of Dr Drake and his colleagues is

any guide—it still is fun looking.

31 What is Drake equation?

32 What difficulties are there in

scientists’ search for alien lives through

radio waves?

【答案与解析】

31 Drake equation refers to a way proposed by Frank Drake to

calculate the likelihood of establishing contact with aliens. Drake equation

needs to multiply the following figures: how many stars are formed in the

galaxy in a year; what fraction of these have planets and thus form solar

systems; the average number of planets per solar system that have the potential

to support life; on what percentage of those where it is possible do such

biospheres actually form; what percentage of such biospheres give rise to

intelligent species; what percentage of intelligent life is able to transmit

signals into space; and for how long could such intelligence keeps sending

signals.

（Drake equation的定义主要集中在第一段。）

32 The difficulties for scientists to search for alien lives

through radio waves are as follows. Firstly, radio telescopes must chop the

spectrum into fine portions to study it, like tuning into a signal on a car

radio. Secondly, the tradeoff between a telescope’s

field of view and its magnification needs to be achieved. Thirdly, the rise of

spread-spectrum communication makes those signals hard to hear.

Questions 33-35

In most of the

earliest books for children, illustrations were an afterthought. But in the

Caldecott “toy books” (named after the British illustrator Randolph Caldecott),

which first appeared in 1878, they were almost as important as the lines of

text, and occupied far more space in the book. One can almost read the story

from the dramatic action in the pictures.

Since then,

thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States

and around the world. In the best, the words and illustrations seem to

complement each other perfectly. Often a single person is responsible for both

writing and illustrating the book. One of the greatest, and certainly one of

the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr. Seuss, whose real name was

Theodore Ceisel. His first children’s book, And

to Think That I saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the

world of children’s literature was changed

forever. Seuss’s playful drawing were a

perfect complement to his engaging stories and unforgettable characters, in

1957, Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat became

the first book in Random House’s best-selling

series, Beginner Books, written by Seuss and several other authors. These

combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful

stories written in very simple language. (The Cat in the Hat, for

example, uses only 250 words, which is an estimate of the number of words that

a six-year-old can read.)

Dr. Seuss is not

the only well-known author-illustrator, of course. There is Max Sendak, who

wrote and illustrated Where the Wild Things Are, the story of a little

boy named Max who became king of the fierce (but funny) creatures that live in

the Land of the Wild Things. Robert McClosky produced both the richly textured

illustrations and the delightful story of a family of ducks living in downtown

Boston, Make Way for Ducklings. Some books are produced by a

collaborative author-artist team. Author Margaret Wise Brown combined with

illustrator Clement Hurd to produce two delightful books loved by very young

children, Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Another example

is the husband-and-wife team of writer Audrey Wood and illustrator Don Wood,

who were responsible for King Bidgood’s in

the Bathtub and The Napping House.

Wordless and

nearly wordless picture book have also become popular. With a little help,

three-and four-year-olds can follow the sequence of events, and they can

understand the stories suggested in them. The marvel of books with few or no

words is that they allow children and their parents the opportunity to tell and

retell the same stories over and over in their own words. One of the most

charming examples of a wordless book is Jan Omerod’s

Sunshine. Barbara Berger’s Grandfather

Twilight and David Weisner’s Tuesday

are examples of books containing only a few words.

U.S. publishers

have also drawn on illustrations from other countries whose original,

imaginative works have brought their different visions to American children’s books. Among them are Leo Lionni from Italy,

Feodor Rojankovsky from Russia, and Taro Yashimi from Japan.

33 What is the function of illustration in

children’s books?

34 What is the strength of children’s picture books with fewer words?

35 Summarize in your own words some

representative author-illustrators and their masterpieces.

【答案与解析】

33 In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each

other perfectly. Through simply language and illustrations, children can easily

follow the book.

（根据第二段可知，插图的作用就是和文字相辅相成。孩子们通过插图和简单的语言文字就能读懂书。）

34 For children’s picture books,

with a little help, three-and four-year-olds can follow the sequence of events,

and they can understand the stories suggested in them. The marvel of books with

few or no words is that they allow children and their parents the opportunity

to tell and retell the same stories over and over in their own words.

（根据倒数第二段可知，这种文字较少的图画书孩子们易于理解，更重要的是，孩子们能够使用自己的语言来复述故事。）

35 An author-illustrator

means a single person responsible for both writing and illustrating the book.

In this passage, 3 representative author-illustrators are introduced. The first

is Dr. Seuss. His first children’s book And

to Think That I saw It on Mulberry Street hit the market in 1937. In 1957,

his The Cat in the Hat became the first book in Random House’s best-selling series, Beginner Books. The second

is Max Sendak, who wrote and illustrated Where the Wild Things Are. The

third is Robert McClosky who produced Make Way for Ducklings. Of course,

there are some great author-artist teams, for example, Author Margaret Wise

Brown combined with illustrator Clement Hurd to produce Goodnight Moon

and The Runaway Bunny, the husband-and-wife team of writer Audrey Wood

and illustrator Don Wood, who were responsible for King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub and The Napping House.

Ⅲ. Writing (30 points)

Some people

think that public museums and art galleries are not needed because people could

see historical objects and works by using computers. Do you agree or disagree?

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Write a

composition of about 400 words on your view of the topic.

【参考范文】

Museums and Art Galleries Cannot be Replaced by Computers

Since people can

now search the Internet to see pictures and related descriptions about some

historical objects and works, some people point out that public museums and art

galleries can be replaced then. As far as I am concerned, I don’t agree with them because public museums and art

galleries have some irreplaceable functions and were of great importance to our

life.

Firstly, what we

see in computers is virtual and limited. For those who cannot go to the museums

or art galleries, the computer does give some information about the historical

objects and works. However, this information is limited because the content of

the information, the angle from which the pictures are taken are totally

decided by the author or editor. Without going to the museums or art galleries,

you can never really know the whole picture, or even in some cases, you can

never make sure whether the pictures in the computer are right.

Secondly,

museums and art galleries are not just for seeing objects, and they have other

more important functions. In museums and art galleries, historical objects and

works can be protected and maintained in a proper way. Also, these historical

objects and works are of great scientific value which cannot be discovered

simply by reading and seeing some information through the computers. As a kind

of public services, museums and art galleries can also educate the public about

the great history of the country, or even the world. You may attend some

lectures held in the museums and art galleries or listen to some guides who

would tell you some interesting stories face to face.

Thirdly, your

own experiences and feelings when visiting the museums and art galleries are

unique, and are totally different from the experiences of sitting before a

computer and seeing some pictures or descriptive words. Immersed in so many

great works in real life in the museums or art galleries, you can be easily

inspired by the greatness of human creations. You can communicate with your

companions or even have a discussion about what you are seeing. You are free to

think over an object or compare it with a similar one through your own thinking

or your own words. From this point of view, museums and art galleries for you

are no longer places, but a piece of memory in your life.

All in all,

public museums and art galleries have their own irreplaceable position in life

and society. They cannot be replaced by computers.
