Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four chokes 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 One of the bitterest and most time-worn debates in student union bars up and down the country is resolved as academic research confirms that in financial terms at least, arts degrees are a complete waste of time. Getting through university boosts student's earnings by 25%, on a weighted average, or ￡220,000 over their lifetime, according to Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University--but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants' revolt instead of anatomy or contract law, those gains are likely to be completely wiped out. The government is about to allow universities to charge students up to ￡3,000 a year for their degrees, arguing that it it's a small price to pay compared with the financial rewards graduates reap later in life. But Prof. Walker's re search shows there are sharp variations in returns according to which subject a student takes. Law, medicine and economics or business are the most lucrative choices, making their average earnings 25% higher, according to the article, published in the office for national statistics' monthly journal. Scientists get 10-15% extra. At the bottom of the list are arts subjects, which make only a "small" difference to earnings--a small negative one, in fact. Just ahead are degrees in education--which leave hard pressed teachers an average of 5% better off a year than if they had left school at 18. "It's hard to resist the conclusion that what students learn does matter a lot; and some subject areas give more modest financial returns than others," Prof. Walker said. As an economist, he was quick to point out that students might gain non-financial returns from arts degrees: "Studying economics might be very dull, for example, and studying post-modernism might be a lot of fun."
2. Students could expect higher earnings if ________.
A.they are allowed to go through universities
B.they do not take arts degrees
C.schools boost their financial rewards
D.they pay a small price for their degrees in advance
A B C D
B
总体说来，念大学后收入会增加，但并不是人人都如此。原文第二句的两个并列分句为转折关系，重点在后一分句“but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants’revolt instead of anatomy or contract law，those gains are likely to be completely wiped out”。 此处，作者用Shakespeare指代文学专业，peasants’ revolt指代历史专业，故正确选项为B项。另外，文中提到，At the bottom of the list are arts subjects which… a small negative one，in fact．可见，读了文科的大学毕业生，从经济收入看，还比不上未读大学的人。不可选A。
3. The word "lucrative" in Line 10 most probably refers to ________.
A.sensible
B.creative
C.profitable
D.reliable
A B C D
C
通过上下文及相关数据的比较，可以猜测lucrative大意应为“最给人带来丰厚收入的”，故选C项。
4. Which kind of college graduates might earn less than if they had left school at 18?
A.Teachers and headmasters.
B.Writers and film critics.
C.Lawyers and businessmen.
D.Scientists and researchers.
A B C D
B
本题为事实细节题，只要掌握了原句At the bottom of the list are arts subjects，which make only a“small” difference to earnings--a small negative one，in fact．就不难做出正确选择。
5. We can safely conclude that the author ________.
A.regards arts degrees as meaningless
B.finds this result disappointing and unfair
C.wants the students to think twice before they decide what to learn in college
D.holds that arts degrees are still rewarding despite its scarce financial returns
Passage 2 It happens to every medical student sooner or later. You get a cough that persists for a while. Ordinarily, you would just ignore it but now armed with your rapidly growing medical knowledge, you can't help worrying. The cough could mean just a cold, but it could also be a sign of lung cancer. For doctors in training, nurses and medical journalists, hypochondria is an occupational danger. The feeling usually passes after a while, leaving only a funny story to tell at a dinner party. But for the tens of thousands who suffer from true hypochondria they live in constant terror that they are dying of some awful disease, or even several awful diseases at once. Doctors can assure them that there's nothing wrong, but since the cough is real, the assurances fall on deaf ears. And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn't have cancer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed his or her worst fears. Hypochondriacs don't harm just themselves; they block the whole healthcare system. Al though they account for only about 6% of the patients who visit doctors every year, they tend to burden their physicians with frequent visits that take up excessive amounts of time. And the problem may be worse, thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet. They go on the Web and learn about new diseases and new presentations of old diseases that they never even knew about before. Doctors have taken to calling this phenomenon cyberchondria.
1. According to the passage, if you suffer from hypochondria,
A.you must be a medical student, or a medical worker
B.you are haunted by a possibly inexistent disease
C.you will never get rid of this disease
D.you always tell funny stories at dinner parties
A B C D
B
时常怀疑自己生病是医务人员的职业病，但为此困扰的并不仅仅是他们，因为第二段第三句说：“But for the tens of thousands who suffer from true hypochondria．．．”故A项断章取义，不是正确答案；仔细读完第二段后半部分，不难发现这种病的表现症状是瞎猜疑，因此选B。
2. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Hypochondria happens to everybody sooner or later.
B.We needn't worry about hypochondria since it is not dangerous at all.
C.Hypochondria originates from too much knowledge of medicine.
D.Not only individuals but also the healthcare system might be disturbed by the unnecessary terrors.
3. Why can't doctors convince the sufferers that there is nothing wrong?
A.Because they fail to offer enough evidence.
B.Because they don't assure them of that.
C.Because the sufferers are deaf and cannot hear what the doctors say.
D.Because lack of absolute guarantee makes them doubtful.
A B C D
D
本题为事实细节题，只要找到“because no physician or test call offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn't have cancer．．．”即可。误选C项可能是没有正确理解短语“fall on deaf ears”，该固定表达的意思是“充耳不闻”。
4. The problem becomes worse due to ________.
A.the increasing number of patients
B.the widespread medical knowledge on the Internet
C.the fact that they visit the doctors frequently and occupy too much time
D.new diseases and symptoms emerge constantly
A B C D
B
本题同样为事实细节题，答案在第三段“And the problem may be worse，thanks to the popularity of medical information on the Internet．”此处thanks to是讽刺的用法。
Passage 3 When Mr. Yoji Morita married Miss Tamiko Minemura last year, his father compared the couple's new life together to a railroad train on a long, unknown track. "There may be curves and dark tunnels ahead," he told them, "but we wish you a safe journey." The first year of that journey together has provided a variety of personal discoveries about everything from dirty laundry to family finances for the newlyweds. But overall, the young couple, who are typical of millions of Japanese, say their semi-arranged marriage is going well, and they feel a certain closeness slowly developing between them. They call it "love". During each of their six workdays a week, they talk by phone and almost always meet each evening to make the one-hour train ride home together. In the streets, they hold hands. In restaurants, they sometimes playfully touch each other. These are subtle but significant changes in the growth of a Japanese marriage relationship, where open signs of affection have not been common. It is quite different from the day when they met at an arranged tea after their fathers, old friends from work, suggested the possibility of a marriage between their "two children". The two young people, who could have said no to the idea, did not even get to speak at first. Ten days after this meeting, Mr. Morita phoned Miss Minemura to propose. She decided al most immediately but waited three days to answer. Then, in October. Japan's most popular marriage month, the two families were joined in a wedding and reception that cost about ＄13,600. It was planned to be the most important day in their lives. That day, when she was a bride of only a few minutes, Mrs. Morita said, "I think that our love will start to grow from this moment on." And the other evening, after 13 months of marriage, she was reminded of that. "I remember," she said. "It's growing."
1. The article is about ________.
A.the relationship of a typical young Japanese couple
B.the unusual relationship between a Japanese husband and wife
C.the difficulties of marriage in modern Japan
D.the differences between Japanese marriage and western marriage

Passage 4 It is interesting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and the United States. The Americans divide these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and flesh, the two being in opposition in the life of a human being. Ideally, spirit should prevail but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the other as evil. They believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the "gentle" soul, the other is the "rough" soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul, sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul, neither does he fight his rough soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling one's obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a person's obligation to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self-discipline that is at once permissive and rigid, depending upon the area in which it is functioning. What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim of all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over and over, and continually practiced until obedience (服从) becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tempered to the child's tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on, but certainly it is increasingly inexorable (无情的).
1. What is the difference between the moral standards of Japan and those of the United States?
A.There is no division at all in the Japanese standards.
B.Spirit and flesh in American ideas might not be in combat sometimes.
C.The souls divided by Japanese are complementary and both necessary.
D.Japanese like their gentle souls because these are good.
A B C D
C

Part Ⅴ Writing Directions:For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic What Do Foreign Festivals Bring to Us. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (in Chinese) below:
1. What Do Foreign Festivals Bring to Us 1． 越来越多的人过外国节日 2 ．外国节日给我们带来了什么？
Sample Writing What Do Foreign Festivals Bring to Us In these years, a fashion of foreign holidays is striding on the broad. It is particularly appealing to youngsters. The advantage of it is that it infuses fresh air into our social culture. Take Mother's Day for instance. Many young people would buy carnations and cards for their mothers to express their love, which is very suitable for introverted people. The disadvantageous side is that our traditional festivals are to some extent neglected, even Spring Festival is not so valued as before. And the tricks played on April Fools' Day sometimes lead to real tragedies, which are reported almost every year. Besides, this fashion is made use of by those shrewd dealers as another way to exploit your earnings on these holidays. The entrance of foreign holidays also has its duality; we should absorb the essence and discard tile dross.
