Part I Reading Comprehension ( 30 minutes )

Section A

There are several 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. Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the

switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole. But where is the \"mind\"? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that

the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing, like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the

ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. \"Mind,\" said Charles H. Woolbert, \"is

what the body is doing.\"

If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to

another. Observe how people go about the business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this

painstakingly (费力的), you have a surprise in store, for good conversationalists are almost constantly in

motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how

their necks can stand the strain. Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few

seconds at a time. These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are merely common folks trying to make

others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet

they converse, not only with oral language, but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in

the body. In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making

people think. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A) Bodily Communication. B) Bodily Actions.

- 2-

C) Spoken Language. D) Conversations. 2. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?

A) Thinking is a social phenomenon. B) Thinking is solely a brain function. C) Thinking is a function of the nervous system. D) Thinking is the sum total of bodily activity. 3. In communication, it is essential not only to employ speech, but also __________. A) to speak directly to the other person

B) to employ a variety of bodily movements

C) to be certain that the other person is listening

D) to pay great attention to the other person's behaviour

4. It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to

____________. A) make the listener feel emotional

B) make the speaker understood

C) amplify or intensify the speaker's spoken words

D) convey the speaker's implied meaning to the listener

5. Which of the following is TRUE?

A) The brain is compared to a telephone exchange. B) The mind is an activity of the nervous system. C) Some people remain still while talking to others. D) Many people move their bodies on purpose while talking. Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV — if

they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don't think much of them. The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in

criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them

in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer and what is more, he has to apply it on

his feet, in the dark on a rainy day, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣很少的) ladies or in dramatic

confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on

thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty — or not — of stupid, petty

crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In

- 3-

real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and

terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police －little effort is

spent on searching. Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that, he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out

at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuading them, usually against their own

best interests, to help him. 6. It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law ______. A) so that he can catch criminals in the streets

B) so that he can justify his arrests in court

C) because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous

D) because he has to know nearly as much as a professional lawyer

7. The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ______. A) exciting and glamorous

B) full of danger

C) devoted mostly to routine matters

D) wasted on unimportant matters

8. When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police ______. A) prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

B) spend a lot of effort in trying to track down their man

C) make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation

D) usually fail to produce results

9. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A) Generally the detective's work is over once the arrest has been made. B) People are usually willing to give evidence. C) Policemen and detectives spend little time at the typewriter. D) Policemen feel that the image of their lives shown on TV is not accurate. 10. Which of the following could be a suitable title for the passage?

A) Policemen and Detectives

B) The Reality of Being a Detective

C) Detective's Life — Fact and Fantasy

D) Drama and Reality

Section B

In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank

from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully

- 4-

before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the

words in the bank more than once. Questions 11-20 are based on the following passage. As many countries worry about a possible 11 of bird flu in humans this winter, there remains a health

concern that is closer to home. Many doctors are worried that we are overusing 12 to treat common

diseases. \"There is a global public health problem of antibiotic 13 ,\" says Fred Angulo, a public health

scientist with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After 14 was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929, drugs saved lots of lives worldwide over

the past 70 years. Before that, even 15 in small cuts could kill. The 16 of curing a disease is like a war where different soldiers fight against an enemy. Antibiotics

kill many kinds of viruses and bacteria that make you sick. But sometimes they also kill antibodies, special

proteins in the body that help to kill viruses. Sometimes, the enemy viruses or bacteria may change themselves, in order to fight back. When

antibiotics are used 17 or too frequently, the virus can develop faster. This 18 the infection you already

have and makes it harder to treat. Now, because of resistance to antibiotics, once 19 diseases are

becoming 20 again. People of different health conditions and ages should take different amounts of antibiotics. Overuse of

antibiotics means we could lose the fight in the war against disease. A) croak B) improperly C) fatal D) accidental

E) peak F) outbreak G) penicillin H) invincible

I) antibiotics J) essential K) worsens L) resistance

M) treatable N) process O) infections
