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 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 One Like free food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing and the more rewarding. There are still some remote places in the world where you might fred a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind ot secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the n uynber of such words, messages, letters and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
1. In this passage, good writing is compared to free food because __________.
A.both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day
B.both are essential to life
C.both writers and cooks can earn a good living
D.both are enjoyable
A B C D
D
根据文章的第一段的第一句就可以推断出答案D为正确答案。
2. A public "scribe" (Para 2. Line 1) is __________.
A.a secretary who does your business or social writing
B.a machine that does writing for you
C.a public school where writing is taught
D.a person who earns a living by writing for others
Passage Two Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instruments. First, a human "guinea pig" is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in the body. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their normal positions. The same person is then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer. All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old. One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph (肌动记器), makes visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscle. Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs. This work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyond that. Dr. Tichauer's first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs, even light manual work can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body. In time, such stress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard. Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.
1. What are involved in the design of a new tool according to the passage?
A.Electronic instruments and a regular tool.
B.A human "guinea pig" and a regular tool.
C.Electronic instruments and a human "guinea pig".
D.Electronic instruments, a human "guinea pig" and a regular tool.
A B C D
D
由第一段的前两句综合所有的细节。
2. From the passage we know that joints and muscles perform best when __________.
A.they are twisted and stretched
B.they are in their normal positions
C.they are tested with a human "guinea pig"
D.they are tested with electronic instruments
A B C D
B
见第一段的第四句。
3. A "myograph" (Para. 2, Line 1) is an electronic instrument that __________.
A.is able to design new tools
B.measures the amount of energy used
C.enable people to see the muscular movements
D.visualizes electrical signals
A B C D
C
本题考察利用上下文理解生词的能力。单词myograph所在的第二段说，这种仪器make visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscle，与C)基本是同样的意思。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A.a stepladder used to have four legs.
B.it is dangerous to use tools
C.a tripod is safer in a tool design
D.workers are safer on production lines
A B C D
A
由第三段的第一句中的“…a new design”可知，第二句中提到的a tripod ladder是a new design，相比之下，四条腿的梯子就是an old design 了，也就是说，过去的stepladder是四条腿的。
5. Dr. Tichauer started his experiments initially to __________.
A.improve efficiency
B.increase production
C.reduce work load
D.improve comfort
A B C D
D
本题考察寻找细节。线索位于倒数第二段的第二句话。句子中的“Dr．Tichauer's first thought”对应于题干中的initially，后面的句子都是说明为了舒适；本题的另一线索是最后一段的第一句，Efficiency is the by-product of comfort，由此可知，Dr．Tichauer最初关心的是comfort。
Passage Three Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life's essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33 percent---from 8.8 million to 11.7 million---according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affect performance," said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance." Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly indicate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr. Emesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, "is poor".
1. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is __________.
A.the year the author wrote the article
B.1977
C.any year between 1977 and 1983
D.1983
A B C D
D
根据第二段第三句“Between 1977 and 1983，the latest year for which figures are available”，选D项。
2. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that __________.
A.several studies have been done in the past few years
B.the omission of breakfast does no harm to one's health
C.adults have especially made studies in this field
D.eating little in the morning is good for health
A B C D
B
根据第三段第一，第二段，其中有这一论断“…there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast．”，所以选B项。
3. "...nor does giving people breakfast improve performance" meads __________.
A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
B.not giving people breakfast improve performance
C.having breakfast does not improve performance, either
D.people having breakfast do improve their performances, too
A B C D
C
文章中的nor和C项中either的都表示否定概念，即“也不”。
4. The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to __________.
A.stories, poems, plays, etc.
B.written works on a particular subject
C.any printed material
D.the modem literature of America
A B C D
B
literature在本文中作“专业论著”讲。
5. What is implied but not stated by the author is that __________.
A.breakfast does not affect performance
B.Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
C.not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
D.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
A B C D
C
根据最后一段第一句“…most of the recent work involves children…”，C项符合，A、B和D项陈述的事实与题意不符，所以排除。
Passage Four Let us look now at some examples. A department store's inputs include the land upon which the building is located, the labor of the employees, capital in the form of building, equipment and merchandise, and the management skills of the store managers. On a farm, the operation system is the transformation that occurs when a farmer's inputs (land, equipment, labor, etc.) are converted into such outputs as com, wheat or milk .The exact form of the conversation process varies from industry, but it is an economic phenomenon that exists in every industry .Economists refer to this transformation of resources into goods and services as the production function. For all operation systems, the sum of the individual inputs. To the consumers, the resulting products offer utility due to the form, the time, or the place of their availability from the conversation process. However, the process is subject to random fluctuations .Unplanned or uncontrollable influences may cause the actual output to differ from planned output. Random fluctuations can arise from external disruption (fire, floods or lightning, for example) or from internal problems inherent in the conversation process. Inherent variability of equipment, material imperfections, and human errors all affect output quality. In fact, random variations are the role rather than the exception in production process; therefore, reducing variation becomes a major management task. The function of the feedback is to provide information linkages. Without some feedback of information, management personal cannot control operation because they don’t know the results of their directions.
1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The transformation process of a department store from inputs into outputs is different from that of a farm.
B.The conversion process of a department store from inputs into outputs is the same as that of a farm.
C.The transformation process can be totally free from random fluctuation.
D.Random fluctuation is important to the conversion process.
A B C D
A
由第一段第四句“The exact form of the conversion varies from industry to industry, but it is an economic phenomenon that exists in every industry”可以判断B项不正确；第二段第一句“However, the process is subject to random fluctuations”可以判断C不正确；同样在第二段中“…random variations are the rule rather than the exception in production processes．”可断出D不正确，通读第一、二段。可以看出A正确。
2. Which of the following will not result in random fluctuation?
A.Unreliable equipment.
B.Cash input.
C.Management skills.
D.Earthquake.
A B C D
B
根据第二段中第三句“Random fluctuations can arise from external disruption(fire，floods or lightning，for example)or internal problems inherent in the conversation process．”这些因素中不包括B项。
3. The main idea of the second paragraph is that __________.
A.random fluctuation can be eliminated from the transformation process from inputs into outputs
B.the transformation process from inputs into outputs can not' be free from random fluctuation
C.human errors are the sole causes for random fluctuation
D.the inherent problems in the transformation process are the most important for random fluctuation
A B C D
B
根据第二段第一句“However, the process is subject to random fluctuations”为该段主旨句，B项与此句意思吻合。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that random fluctuation __________.
A.is good to the desired transformation
B.will affect the quality of the goods produced
C.can provide information for the managers as feedback
D.does not help to provide enough information for the managers
A B C D
B
根据第二段第三句“Inherent variability of equipment，material imperfections，and human errors all affect output quality．”B表达了此意，A)对理想的转化有益；C)能够向经理们提供反馈信息；D)不能向经理们提供足够的信息。
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A.The random fluctuation.
B.The function of feedback.
C.The transformation process.
D.The investment in all forms in the production.
A B C D
C
根据对全文主题的分析，C项为正确答案。

Part Ⅴ Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic College Students' Job-hunting. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1. 越来越多的毕业生体会到了找工作的压力； 2．大学生就业难的原因； 3．我的看法。
College Students' job-hunting Recently, college students' employment has become a hot topic in china. What amazes us most is that about 15 percent of college graduates cannot find the right job in the first year. It is true that the employment situation is no longer as optimistic as before. There are many reasons explaining the huge unemployment pressure on college graduates. The main reason is that the supply of graduates is much more than the demand in the market. What is more, the economy development in recent years is not as fast as before. Thirdly, many graduates have too high expectations. As a result, many graduates will stay at home waiting for opportunities. Considering all these, many measures must be taken to cope with this problem. For one thing, the employment center should play a vital role. For another, the students should improve themselves actively. In conclusion, it calls for the joint efforts of the society to help graduates.
