Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four 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 decided on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of ushas our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily truethat we must define success broadly.
For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many
of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.”
21. In the first paragraph, the author implies that ____ is essential in achieving success.
A) ability and goals
B) goals and determination
C) ability and environment
D) goals and environment
22.The word “frugal”(Line. 4, Para 2.) means____.

23. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because____.
A) their life is miserable
B) they do not live in peace
C) their goals are too low
D) they are not rich enough by their own standards
24. The last paragraph implies that____.
A) we should have high goals
B) success means achieving great goals
C) success means taking a walk in the park
D) success means trying one’s best at what one really likes
25. This passage mainly talks about____.
A) the definition of success
B) how to achieve success
C) how to set goals
D) the importance of goals
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.
Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than anyother age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative cons
equences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of aspouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.
“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.
26. The second paragraph implies that ____.
A) teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems
B) a widow or a widower will die very soon without companionships
C) human being need companionships and a sense of belonging.
D) both A and B

A) everyone is a part of an island
B) man cannot be an island
C) everyone is just a part of society
D) society is an island

A) age B) belonging
C) personality D) culture
29. The author thinks that close friends____.
A) can be easily formed when one is young
B) cannot be long-lasting
C) are not rare for everyone
D) are rare for most people
30.The word “irrespective”(Last Sentence, Para5) means____.
A) not respecting
B) dishonoring
C) regardless
D) considering
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors，who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements ofthe volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear(后方的) section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual on emotional faculties or functions.Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to t
he contraction normally associated with age—using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors, white collar workers
doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking.Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket
calculators.”
31. The Japanese doctors find out that____.
A) our brains are aging too early
B) Japanese farmers are ageing at a relatively early age
C) our brains are not getting enough exercise
D) Japanese farmers are losing their ability to think

C) study of brain volumes of different people
D) the latest development of computer technology.
33.According to the third paragraph, ____.
A) the volume of the side section of the brain determines the human character
B) the front section of the brain controls function of eating
C) the front section of the brain does not contract with age
D) human can live without intellectual on emotional functions.

A) They are not clever as our brains
B) We need to use our brains to prevent it from shrinking

Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
36. Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to ____.
A) give her the right to receive all her husband’s property
B) help her to enjoy a higher position in the family
C) protect a woman against the risk of desertion
D) both A and C
37. According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was____.
A) higer than that of a single woman
B) higher than that of her husband
C) lower than that of her husband
D) the same as that of her husband
38. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas?
A) To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property.
B) To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance.
C) To prove that women have powerful position.
D) To illustrate how women win her property.
39.The compensation Maria Vivas gets for the field is ____.
A) some of the land Miro had inherited
B) a tenth of Miro’s land
C) money for household expenses
D) money form Miro’s inheritance
40. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ____.
A) sympathetic B) disapproval C) indifferent D) objective

Passage One
A guide dog is a dog especially trained to guide a blind person. Dogs chosen for such training must show good intelligence, physical fitness, and responsibility.At the age of about fourteen months, a guide dog begins an intensive course that lasts from three to five months. It becomes accustomed to the leather harness and stiff leather handle it will wear when guiding its blind owner. The dog learns to watch traffic and to cross streets safely. It also learns to obey any command that might lead its owner into danger.
The most important part of the training course is a four-week program in which the guide dog and its future owner learn to work together. However, many blind people are unsuited by personality to work dogs. Only about a tenth of the blind find a guide dog useful.

Everywhere we look, we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health, for beauty, to lose weight, to feel fit, and because it is the thing they love to do. Every year, for example, thousands of people run in one race, the Boston Marathon, the best know long distance race in the United States. In recent years there have been nearly 5,000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.
You may have heard the story of the Greek runner, Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2,500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line, we see what this race is about; not being first, but finishing. The real victory is not over one’s fellow runners, but over one’s own body. It is a victory of will-power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon, each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. How long does it takes for the runners to cross the starting line in recent Marathon race?
15. Why did the Greek runner run from Marathon to Athens?

Of all the stars the sun is the nearest to the earth. Millions of other stars are even bigger and brighter than the sun. They look small only because they are much father away. You can’t see them in the daytime. But if you go out at night, you’ll be able to see thousands of them.
The earth is one of the sun’s planets, and the moon is the nearest to the earth in space, and men have visited it already. No man has traveled farther than the moon, but spaceships without people have reached other planets.
Many countries have sent up man-made satellites to circle the earth. With their help, people have done much research in many fields of science. Our countries sometimes have sent up man-made satellites to send and receive TV programs. This has helped the people of China and other countries to understand each other better.

参考范文：
Should Smoking Be Completely Banned?
Some people maintain that smoking should be completely banned. In their opinions, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people around. Moreover, smoking is a waste of money. When one smokes a cigarette, one is actually burning money.
Other people do not agree. They believe that smoking helps to sharpen one’s mind and prevents one from sleeping. And smoking does not seem to shorten one’s life since many people who smoke live a long life. Also the government gets a lot of money from cigarette taxes.
In my view, everyone has the right to choose his/her own way of life, but one does not have the right to impose his way of life on other people. So smoking in public places should be banned but in some areas it can be allowed.
