Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 3 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 1
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. (76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. (77) If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.

Passage 2
Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.
(78)In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and he has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. (79) We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.

1. What is the major function of paragraph 1 ?

A.To arouse the reader's concern.
B.To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
C.To summarize the whole passage.
D.To state the primary uses of TV.

2. Television, as source of entertainment, is______.

A.not very convenient
B.very expensive
C.quite dangerous
D.relatively cheap

A B C D

细节题。第二段第一句提到" In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment，but also a comparatively cheap one．”可见，电视不仅方便，而且便宜。四个答案中只有D符合句意。

3. Why are some people against TV?

A.Because TV programs are not interesting.
B.Because TV viewers are totally passive.
C.Because TV prices are very high.
D.Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages.

A B C D

细节题。第二段说有人反对电视，是因为"He is completely passive and he has everything presented to him without any effort on his part." 电视观众完全处于被动地位，不需任何的努力。

4. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that______.

A.it keeps us informed
B.it is very cheap
C.it enables us to have a rest
D.it controls our lives

A B C D

Passage 3
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. (80)Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or , even more important, weather the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and , in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人) and a bitter person.

1. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they______.

A.have ruined their talents
B.have taken on an unsuitable job
C.think of nothing but their salary
D.are not aware of their own potential

A B C D

逻辑推理题。第一段的主题句很清楚地告诉我们，有些年轻人是很偶然才找到工作的，因此他们在工作中很少或基本不能获得满足感。由此可知，他们不太可能成功的原因是他们没有找到合适的工作。

2. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies in that______.

A.much competition has to be faced
B.many employees have no working experience
C.the young people only care about how much they can earn
D.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance

A B C D

细节题。第二段提到“The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution．”，可见，大学生之所以在找工作时有很多误区，原因主要在于学校未能提供就业方面的培训和指导。

3. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?

A.Your job must suit your interest.
B.Your job must set a pattern of life.
C.Your job must offer you a high salary.
D.Your job must not ruin your talent.

A B C D

细节题。第三段的首句说"In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest．”，其中的 first与题干中的the most important 为同义改写。

4. The best title for this passage would be______.

A.What Can A Good Job Offer
B.Earning A Living
C.Correct Attitude on Job-hunting
D.How to Choose A Job

A B C D

主旨题。本文讲的是如何选择一份好工作，故应选D。

5. The word "pathetic" in paragraph 2 most probably means______.
A splendid B miserable C disgusted D touching

A B C D

词汇题。根据"Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest，” 我们可以判断pathetic应该表示贬义，因此答案就只能从B和C选择；其次，根据后面的两个动词"discourage"和"ruin”，我们就可以确定答案为B。pathetic此处意为“糟糕的，差劲的”。
