Passage One

To a celebrator
of the alleged maternal instinct, ”modern woman”—with her contraception, abortion
rights, career and nanny —can only be a pitiful freak. Mid-20^th
century Freudians urged women to put aside ambition and masochistically(their
word)submit to the maternal instinct. In the 19th century, gynecologists warned
that any use of the female intellect—from novel reading to higher
education—could foreclose motherhood by causing the uterus to , quite
literally, wither away. Happiness was a full womb and a vacant mind.

In the past,
feminists have responded to this kind of talk by arguing that women have no
biologically scripted inner nature to violate. Hey, girls just wanna have fun!
But the truth, according to anthropologist Sara Hrdy, is that women are
biologically hard-wired for motherhood, only not in the ways men imagine. We
are primates, after all, not spiders or guppies, and this means we are not
scripted for indiscriminate reproduction but for well-spaced offspring, each
requiring lengthy care.

In the natural
human condition—the Paleolithic lifestyle that prevailed for at least 90% of
existence—women probably spaced their births up to four years apart through
prolonged lactation. As in surviving hunting societies like the Kung,
infrequent births mean that each baby can be cherished and, of course, fed. It
is this script—not commandment to multiply nonstop—that has been violated by
human societies for the past few thousand years. By the time of the ancient
Mediterranean civilizations, women were already having far more babies than
they could care for—as evidenced by the widespread practice of infanticide and
abandonment.

What makes a
primate species start breeding more like bunnies than bonobos? Hrdy points to
that great watershed of prehistory, the dawn of the Neolithic era, with the
invention of agriculture, about 10,000 years ago. For one thing, the changing
diet allowed girls to fatten up for puberty earlier and wean their babies
faster, thus bearing more babies per lifetime. Men began to define land and
animals as property and sources of prestige, it would seem, and women as
chattels to be fought over.

With the
“domestication” of women, and their consignment for frequent childbearing,
patriarchy was born. The cultural pattern found in so many tribal horticultural
societies—including warfare, male domination and polygyny—began to take hold
worldwide. By the dawn of “civilization’, the venerable female tendencies, Hrdy
tells us, so essential to successful primate motherhood, ambition, ingenuity
and sexual adventurousness, had been redefined as immortal or at least
“unnatural”.

But maybe we are
finally waking up from our species’10,000-year-long mistake. Perhaps family
planning, working moms and child-care centers aren’t bizarre modernist
digressions from the “natural” but the hallmarks of ancient primate family
values. After all, the female primate’s goal has never been hordes of
offspring—just a few good kids. And if there is anything unique about our
species compared with most other primates, it’s that human males are so often
motivated to serve as hands-on parents too. Thanks to contraceptive technology
and, yes, feminism, we may have a chance to get back to nature at last—our
special human primate nature.

Passage Two

For most of us,
work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our
conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work,. What
we do there largely determines our standard of living and, to a considerable
extent, the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well. It is
sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the indignities
and injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, that because most work is
pretty intolerable, people who do it should compensate for its boredom,
frustrations, and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts
of their lives. I reject that as a counsel of despair. For the foreseeable
future the material and psychological rewards which work can provide, and the
conditions in which work is done, will continue to play a vital part in
determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can
control the pace at which they work or the conditions in which their work is
done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity,
imagination, or initiative.

Inequality at work
is still one of the cruelest and most glaring forms if inequality in our
society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life,
many of which arise directly or indirectly from the frustrations created by
inequality at work, unless we tackle it head-on. Still less can we hope to
create a decent and humane society.

The most glaring
inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an
opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to
develop their abilities. They are constantly learning; they are able to
exercise responsibility; they have a considerable degree of control over their
own—and others’ —working lives. Most important of all, they have the
opportunity to initiate. By contrast, for most workers, and for a growing
number of white-collar workers, work in a boring, monotonous, even painful
experience. They spend all their working lives in conditions which would be
regarded as intolerable—for themselves—by those who take the decisions which
let such conditions continue. The majority has little control over their work;
it provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Often production
is so designed that workers are simply part of the technology. In offices, many
jobs are so routine that workers justifiably feel themselves to be mere cogs in
the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience,
many workers feel alienated from their work and their firm, whether it is in
public or in private ownership.

Rising
educational standards feed rising expectations, yet the amount of control which
the worker has over his own work situation does not rise accordingly. In many
cases his control has been reduced. Symptoms of protest increase—rising
sickness and absenteeism, high turnover of employees, restrictions on output,
and strikes, both unofficial and official. There is not much escape out and
upwards. As management becomes more professional—in itself a good thing—the
opportunity for promotion from the shop floor becomes less. The only escape is
to another equally frustrating manual job; the only compensation is found not
in the job but outside it, if there is a rising standard of living.

5 Which of the following statements DOES
NOT stand for the author’s viewpoint?

A. Most people
can never get any satisfaction from their jobs.

B. Equality in
our society is impossible.

C. The more
education a worker has, the more control he has over his own work situation.

D. Sense of self-fulfillment is one of the key factors which
determine the satisfaction a job can offer.

6 In the author’s opinion, people judge
others by _____.

A. the type of
work they do

B. the place
where they work

C. the time they
spend on work

D. the amount of
money they earn

7 Working conditions generally remain
intolerable because _____.

A. the workers
make no effort to change them

B. the workers
have found compensation outside their jobs

C. the
management sees no need to change them

D. many jobs are
boring and monotonous

8 The passage is developed by _____.

A. cause and
effect

B. definition
and illustration

C. division and
classification

D. comparison
and contrast

Passage Three

To an adolescent
who dreams of dominating the basketball court, synthetic human growth hormone
may look like a godsend. To biotechnology watchdog Jeremy Rifkin, it has a more
sinister aspect. The 5-foot- activist doesn’t view short stature as a medical
problem, and he’s appalled that the US government is sponsoring a 10-year study
to see whether the treatment will make healthy children taller. In a new
petition to the National Institute of Health, Rifkin and his Washington-based
Foundation on Economic Trends charge that the study violates federal rules
restricting medical experiments on children. No one expects the petition to
shut down the study, but it has rekindled a long-simmering debate over what
makes a difference a defect.

Synthetic human
growth hormone was approved in 1985 as a treatment for kids who don’t produce
the substance naturally. The manufacturers would like to find a large
clientele. The disputed NIH trial, now in its second year, is designed to see
what effect the treatment will have on kids with normal hormone levels, but who
fall at the lowest end of the height curve. Half of the 80participants get
injections of synthetic growth hormone three times a week. The others get dummy
injections. To measure the effects of the treatment, researchers will monitor
all the kids until they stop growing.

Advocates of the
drug’s wider use insist that while short stature is no disease, it can be a
social handicap. They cite research showing that short people tend to lag in
school, earn less money, even lose elections. Twelve-year-old Marco Oriti has
normal hormone levels but has always been small. After six years of treatment
he’s still five inches behind some peers, but his mother credits the drug with
narrowing the gap.

Small risk: Someone else’s parents
may find a smaller gap worrisome. Should any child with nervous parents receive
years of costly medical treatment? If the risks are minimal, and the public
isn’t paying the bill, maybe there’s no harm(synthetic growth hormone isn’t
known to cause serious side effects at standard doses.)But the implications are
unsettling. If short stature is to be treated as a medical disorder, Rifkin
asks, what other perceived handicap will follow? Skin color ?

Some researchers
share those misgiving but defend the NIH study as an effort to identify the
drug’s possibilities. At the moment, no one knows whether it will increase a
normal child’s adult height or simply help him attain it faster. If synthetic
growth hormone does not provide extra inches, says Dr Lynnette Nieman of NIH,
the debate over treating healthy kids will be questionable. Maybe so. But if
the drug works, science alone won’t tell us how to use it.

9 According to Jeremy Rifkin, the sinister aspect of the use of
synthetic human growth hormone is that _____.

A. people are not sure whether the treatment will increase a normal
child’s abult height or simply help him attain it faster

B. it is very
expensive but produces very little effects

C. it misleads
people into believing that short stature is a medical problem

D. the US government is wasting the public’s money on the ten-year study of synthetic human growth
hormone

10 Which of the following is NOT included
in the disputed NIH trial?

A. It is designed to see what effect the treatment will have on kids
who have normal hormone levels but are too short for their age.

B. It is to
prove that short stature can be a social handicap though it is not a disease.

C. Forty
participants receive injections without any synthetic human growth hormone.

D. Researchers
are to keep observing all the participants until they stop growing.

11 We may infer from the passage that _____.

A. even if the
drug works, the wide use of it will involve other concerns.

B. if the drug
can increase a kid’s height, colored people would hope to change their skin
color

C. parents will
be scared if the drug does not provide extra inches

D. people have
no doubts that the drug will increase a normal child’s adult height

Passage Four

The discovery
that language can be a barrier to communication is quickly made by all who
travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research,
government, policing, business, or data dissemination, the lack of a common
language can severely impede progress or can halt it altogether. ”Common
language” here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in
principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single
language. ”They don’t talk the same language” has a major metaphorical meaning
alongside its literal one.

Although
communication problems of this king must happen thousands of times each day,
very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to
communicate has major consequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal
problems, or fatal accidents—even, at times, war. One reported instance of
communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species
of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within
days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment
that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the
American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably because the
report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European
languages other than English.

Several
comparable cases have been reported. But isolated examples do not give an
impression of the size of the problem—something that can come only from studies
of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contracts in
different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world,
for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other
information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is
ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed
that only 13 per cent were for foreign language periodicals. Studies of the
sources cited in publications lead to a similar conclusion: the use of
foreign-language sources is often found to be as low as 10 per cent.

The language
barrier presents itself stark form to firms who wish to market their products
in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades
often been criticized for its linguistic insularity—for its assumption that
foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of
other languages is not therefore a priority. In the 1960s,over two-thirds of
British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English
for outgoing correspondence; many had their sales literature only in English;
and as many as 40 per cent employed no-one able to communicate in the
customers’ languages. A similar problem was identified in other
English-speaking countries, notably the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English-speaking countries were by no means exempt—although the wide
spread use of English as an alternative language made them less open to the
charge of insularity.

The criticism
and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved
the situation. Industrial training schemes have promoted an increase in
linguistic and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation
services; to take just one example in Britain, Rowntree Mackintosh now publish
their documents in six languages(English, French, German ,Dutch, Italian and
Xhosa). Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of countries
with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries,
to ensure consistency when material is being translated. It is now much more
readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged, or
disrupted by failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer.

The changes in
awareness have been most marked in English-speaking countries, where the
realization has gradually dawned that by no means everyone in the world knows
English well enough to negotiate in it. This is especially a problem when
English is not an official language of public administration, as in most parts
of Far East, Russia, the Arab world, etc. Even in cases where foreign customers
can speak English quite well, it is often forgotten that they may not be able
to understand it to the required level—bearing in mind the regional and social
variation which permeates speech and which can cause major problems of
listening comprehension. In securing understanding, how ”we” speak to “them” is
just as important, it appears, as how ”they” speak to “us”.

12 According to the passage, “They don’t speak the same language”
(paragraph 1) can refer to problems in _____.

A.
understanding metaphor

B. learning
foreign languages

C.
understanding dialect or style

D. dealing with
technological change

13 The case of poisonous mushrooms
suggests that American doctors _____.

A. should have
paid more attention to the radio reports

B. only read
medical journals written in English

C. are
sometimes unwilling to try foreign treatments

D. do not
always communicate effectively with their patients

14 According to the writer, the linguistic
insularity of British businesses _____.

A. later spread
to other countries

B. had a
negative effect on their business

C. is not as
bad now as it used to be in the past

D. made
non-English-speaking companies turn to other markets

15 According to the writer, English-speaking
people need to e aware that _____.

A. some
foreigners have never met an English-speaking person

B. many
foreigners have no desire to learn English

C. foreign
languages may pose a greater problem in the future

D.
English-speaking foreigners may have difficulty understanding English

16 A suitable title for this passage would
be _____.

A. Overcoming
the Language Barrier

B. How to
Survive an English Speaking World

C. Global
understanding-the Key to Personal Progress

D. The Need for
a Common language

Passage Five

Clara came to Jordan’s. Some of the older hands, Fanny among them, remembered her earlier rule, and
cordially disliked the memory. Clara had always been ”ikey”, reserved, and
superior. She had never mixed with the girls as one of themselves. If she had
occasion to find fault, she did it coolly and with perfect politeness, which
the defaulter felt to be a bigger insult than crossness. Towards Fanny, the
poor, over-strung hunchback, Clara was unfailingly compassionate and gentle, as
a result of which Fanny shed more bitter tears than ever the rough tongues of
the other overseers had caused her.

There was
something is Clara that Paul disliked, and much that piqued him. If she were
about, he always watched her strong throat or her neck, upon which the blond
hair grew low and fluffy. There was a fine down, almost invisible, upon the
skin of her face and arms, and once he had perceived it, he saw it always.

When he was at
his work, painting in the afternoon, she would come and stand near him,
perfectly motionless. Then he felt her, though she neither spoke nor touched
him. Although she stood a yard away he felt as if he were in contact with her.
Then he could paint no more. He flung down the brushes, and turned to talk to
her.

Sometimes she praised
his work; sometimes she was critical and cold.

“You are
affected in that piece,” she would say; and , as there was an element of truth
in her condemnation, his blood boiled with anger.

Again: ”what f
this” he would ask enthusiastically.

“H’m!” She made
a small doubtful sound. “It doesn’t interest me much.”

“Because you
don’t understand it,” he retorted.

“Because I
thought you would understand.”

She would shrug
her shoulders in scorn of his work. She maddened him. He was furious. Then he
abused her, and went into passionate exposition of his stuff. This amused and
stimulated her. But she never owned that she had been wrong.

During the ten
years that she had belonged to the women’s movement she had acquired a fair
amount of education, and, having had some of Miriam’s passion to be instructed,
had taught herself French, and could read in that language with a struggle. She
considered herself as a woman apart, and particularly apart, from her class.
The girls in the spiral department were all of good homes. It was a small,
special industry, and had a certain distinction. There was an air of refinement
in both rooms. But Clara was aloof also from her fellow-workers

None of these
things, however, did she reveal to Paul. She was not the one to give herself
away. There was a sense of mystery about her. She was so reserved, he felt she
had much to reserve. Her history was open on the surface, but its inner meaning
was hidden from everybody. It was exciting. And then sometimes he caught her
looking at him from under her brows with an almost furtive, sullen scrutiny,
which made him move quickly. Often she met his eyes. But then her own were, as
it were, covered over, revealing nothing. She gave him a little, lenient smile.
She was to him extraordinarily provocative, because of the knowledge she seemed

1) At 6:20 a.m. the ground began to heave. Windows rattled; then they broke Objects started falling from shelves. Water heaters fell from their
pedestals, tearing out plumbing. Outside, the road began to break up. Water
mains and gas lines were wrenched apart, causing flooding and the danger of
explosion. Office buildings began cracking; soon twenty, thirty, forty stories
of concrete were diving at the helpless pedestrians panicking below.

2) Whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever
is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise,
let your mind dwell on these things.

3) Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow
we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a
great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in
the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long
night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact
that the Negro is still not free.

4) He was an undersized little man, with a head too big for his
body-a sickly little man. His nerves were bad. He had skin trouble. It was
agony for him to wear anything next to his skin coarser than silk. And he had
delusions of grandeur.

5) He was a monster of conceit. Never for one minute did he look at
the world or at people, except in relation to himself. He was not only the most
important person in the world, to himself; in his own eyes he was the only
person who existed. He believed himself to be one of the greatest composers.

6) There is greatness about his worst mistakes. Listening to his
music, one doesn’t forgive him for what he may or may not have been. It is not
a matter of forgiveness. It is a matter of being dumb with wonder that his poor
brain and body didn’t burst under the torment of the demon of creative energy
that lived inside him, struggling, crawling, scratching to be released;
tearing, shrieking at him to write the music that was in him. The miracle is
that what he did in the little space of seventy years could have been done at
all, even by a great genius. Is it any wonder that he had no time to be a man?

7) But whom you forgive anything, I forgive also…in order that no
advantage be taken of us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes
