Part　II　Reading　Comprehension　(35　minutes)　
Directions:　There　are　4　reading　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　centre.　

Passage　One　
Questions　21　to　25　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
In　the　1920s　demand　for　American　farm　products　fell,　as　European　countries　began　to　recover　from　World　War　I　and　instituted　austerity　(紧缩)　programs　to　reduce　their　imports.　The　result　was　a　sharp　drop　in　farm　prices.　This　period　was　more　disastrous　for　farmers　than　earlier　times　had　been,　because　farmers　were　no　longer　self-sufficient.　They　were　paying　for　machinery,　seed,　and　fertilizer,　and　they　were　also　buying　consumer　goods.　The　prices　of　the　items　farmers　bought　remained　constant,　while　prices　they　received　for　their　products　fell.　These　developments　were　made　worse　by　the　Great　Depression,　which　began　in　1929　and　extended　throughout　the　1939s.　
In　1929,　under　President　Herbert　Hoover,　the　Federal　Farm　Board　was　organized.　It　established　the　principle　of　direct　interference　with　supply　and　demand,　and　it　represented　the　first　national　commitment　to　provide　greater　economic　stability　for　farmers.　
President　Hoover's　successor　attached　even　more　importance　to　this　problem.　One　of　the　first　measures　proposed　by　President　Franklin　D.　Roosevelt　when　he　took　office　in　1933　was　the　Agricultural　Adjustment　Act,　which　was　subsequently　passed　by　Congress.　This　law　gave　the　Secretary　of　Agriculture　the　power　to　reduce　production　through　voluntary　agreements　with　farmers　who　were　paid　to　take　their　land　out　of　use.　A　deliberate　scarcity　of　farm　products　was　planned　in　an　effort　to　raise　prices.　This　law　was　declared　unconstitutional　by　the　Supreme　Court　on　the　grounds　that　general　taxes　were　being　collected　to　pay　one　special　group　of　people.　However,　new　laws　were　passed　immediately　that　achieved　the　same　result　of　resting　soil　and　providing　flood-control　measures,　but　which　were　based　on　the　principle　of　soil　conservation.　The　Roosevelt　Administration　believed　that　rebuilding　the　nation's　soil　was　in　the　national　interest　and　was　not　simply　a　plan　to　help　farmers　at　the　expense　of　other　citizens.　Later　the　government　guaranteed　loans　to　farmers　so　
that　they　could　buy　farm　machinery,　hybrid　(杂交)　grain,　and　fertilizers.　

21.What　brought　about　the　decline　in　the　demand　for　American　farm　products?　
A)　The　impact　of　the　Great　Depression.　
B)　The　shrinking　of　overseas　markets.　
C)　The　destruction　caused　by　the　First　World　War.　
D)　The　increased　exports　of　European　countries.　
22.The　chief　concern　of　the　American　government　in　the　area　of　agriculture　in　the　1920s　was　
______　.　
A)　to　increase　farm　production　B)　to　establish　agricultural　laws　
C)　to　prevent　farmers　from　going　bankrupt　D)　to　promote　the　mechanization　of　agriculture　
23.The　Agricultural　Adjustment　Act　encouraged　American　farmers　to　______.　
A)　reduce　their　scale　of　production　
B)　make　full　use　of　their　land　
C)　adjust　the　prices　of　their　farm　products　
D)　be　self-sufficient　in　agricultural　production　
24.The　Supreme　Court　rejected　the　Agricultural　Adjustment　Act　because　it　believed　that　the　
Act　______.　
A)　might　cause　greater　scarcity　of　farm　products　
B)　didn't　give　the　Secretary　of　Agriculture　enough　power　
C)　would　benefit　neither　the　government　nor　the　farmers　
D)　benefited　one　group　of　citizens　at　the　expense　of　others　
25.It　was　claimed　that　the　new　laws　passed　during　the　Roosevelt　Administration　were　aimed　
at　______.　
A)　reducing　the　cost　of　farmin　
B)　conserving　soil　in　the　long-term　interest　of　the　nation　
C)　lowering　the　burden　of　farmers　
D)　helping　farmers　without　shifling　the　burden　onto　other　taxpayers　

Passage　Two　
Questions　26　to　30　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
In　the　1950s,　the　pioneers　of　artificial　intelligence　(AI)　predicted　that,　by　the　end　of　this　century,　computers　would　be　conversing　with　us　at　work　and　robots　would　be　performing　our　housework.　But　as　useful　as　computers　are,　they're　nowhere　close　to　achieving　anything　remotely　resembling　these　early　aspirations　f　or　humanlike　behavior.　Never　mind　something　as　complex　as　conversation:　the　most　powerful　computers　struggle　to　reliably　recognize　the　shape　of　an　object,　the　most　elementary　of　tasks　for　a　ten-month-old　kid.　
A　growing　group　of　AI　researchers　think　they　know　where　the　field　went　wrong　.　The　problem,　the　scientists　say,　is　that　AI　has　been　trying　to　separate　the　highest,　most　abstract　levels　of　thought,　like　language　and　mathematics,　and　to　duplicate　them　with　logical,　step-by-step　programs.　A　new　movement　in　AI,　on　the　other　hand,　takes　a　closer　look　at　the　more　roundabout　way　in　which　nature　came　up　with　intelligence.　Many　of　these　researchers　study　evolution　and　natural　adaptation　instead　of　formal　logic　and　conventional　computer　programs.　Rather　than　digital　computers　and　transistors,　some　want　to　work　with　brain　cells　and　proteins　.　The　results　of　these　early　efforts　are　as　promising　as　they　are　peculiar,　and　the　new　nature-based　AI　movement　is　slowly　but　surely　moving　to　the　forefront　of　the　field.　
Imitating　the　brain's　neural　(神经的）　network　is　a　huge　step　in　the　right　direction,　says　computer　scientist　and　biophysicist　Michael　Conrad,　but　it　still　misses　an　important　aspect　of　natural　intelligence.　"People　tend　to　treat　the　brain　as　if　it　were　made　up　of　color-coded　transistors",　he　explains,　"but　it's　not　simply　a　clever　network　of　switches.　There　are　lots　of　important　things　going　on　inside　the　brain　cells　themselves."　Specifically,　Conrad　believes　that　many　of　the　brain's　capabilities　stem　from　the　patternrecognition　proficiency　of　the　individual　molecules　that　make　up　each　brain　cell.　The　best　way　to　build　and　artificially　intelligent　device,　he　claims,　would　be　to　build　it　around　the　same　sort　of　molecular　skills.　
Right　now,　the　option　that　conventional　computers　and　software　are　fundamentally　incapable　of　matching　the　processes　that　take　place　in　the　brain　remains　controversial.　But　if　it　proves　true,　then　the　efforts　of　Conrad　and　his　fellow　AI　rebels　could　turn　out　to　be　the　only　game　in　town.　

26.The　author　says　that　the　powerful　computers　of　today　______.　
A)　are　capable　of　reliably　recognizing　the　shape　of　an　object　
B)　are　close　to　exhibiting　humanlike　behavior　
C)　are　not　very　different　in　their　performance　from　those　of　the　50's　
D)　still　cannot　communicate　with　people　in　a　human　language　
27.The　new　trend　in　artificial　intelligence　research　stems　from　______.　
A)　the　shift　of　the　focus　of　study　on　to　the　recognition　of　the　shapes　of　objects　
B)　the　belief　that　human　intelligence　cannot　be　duplicated　with　logical,　step-by-step　
programs　
C)　the　aspirations　of　scientists　to　duplicate　the　intelligence　of　a　ten-month-old　child　
D)　the　efforts　made　by　scientists　in　the　study　of　the　similarities　between　transistors　and　
brain　cells　
28.Conrad　and　his　group　of　AI　researchers　have　been　making　enormous　efforts　to　______.　
A)　find　a　roundabout　way　to　design　powerful　computers　
B)　build　a　computer　using　a　clever　network　of　switches　
C)　find　out　how　intelligence　developed　in　nature　
D)　separate　the　highest　and　most　abstract　levels　of　thought　
29.What's　the　author's　opinion　about　the　new　AI　movement?　
A)　It　has　created　a　sensation　among　artificial　intelligence　researchers　but　will　soon　die　
out.　
B)　It's　a　breakthrough　in　duplicating　human　thought　processes.　
C)　It's　more　like　a　peculiar　game　rather　than　a　real　scientific　effort.　
D)　It　may　prove　to　be　in　the　right　direction　though　nobody　is　sure　of　its　future　prospects.　
30.Which　of　the　following　is　closest　in　meaning　to　the　phrase　"the　only　game　in　town"　(Line　3,　
Para.　4)?　
A)　The　only　approach　to　building　an　artificially　intelligent　computer.　
B)　The　only　way　for　them　to　win　a　prize　in　artificial　intelligence　research.　
C)　The　only　area　worth　studying　in　computer　science.　
D)　The　only　game　they　would　like　to　play　in　town.　

Passage　Three　
Question　31　to　35　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
Cars　account　for　half　the　oil　consumed　in　the　U.S.,　about　half　the　urban　pollution　and　one　fourth　the　greenhouse　(温室)　gases.　They　take　a　similar　oll　of　(损耗)　resources　in　other　industrial　nations　and　in　the　cities　of　the　developing　world　.　As　vehicle　use　continues　to　increase　in　the　coming　decade,　the　U.S.　and　other　countries　will　have　to　deal　with　these　issues　or　else　face　unacceptable　economic　,　health-related　and　political　costs.　It　is　unlikely　that　oil　prices　will　remain　at　their　current　low　level　or　that　other　nations　will　accept　a　large　and　growing　U.S.　contribution　to　global　climatic　change.　
Policymakers　and　industry　have　four　options:　reduce　vehicle　use,　increase　the　efficiency　and　reduce　the　emissions　of　conventional　gasoline-powered　vehicles,　switch　to　less　harmful　fuels,　or　find　less　polluting　driving　systems.　The　last　of　these-in　particular　the　introduction　of　vehicles　powered　by　electricity　—　is　ultimately　the　only　sustainable　option.　The　other　alternatives　are　attractive　in　theory　but　in　practice　are　either　impractical　or　offer　only　marginal　improvements.　For　example,　reduced　vehicle　use　could　solve　traffic　problems　and　a　host　of　social　and　environmental　problems,　but　evidence　from　around　the　world　suggests　t　hat　it　is　very　difficult　to　make　people　give　up　their　cars　to　any　significant　ex　tent.　In　the　U.S.,　mass-transit　ridership　and　carpooling　(合伙用车）　have　decline　d　since　World　War　II.　Even　in　western　Europe,　with　fuel　prices　averaging　more　than　$　1　a　liter　(about　$　4　a　gallon)　and　with　easily　accessible　mass　transit　and　dense　populations,　cars　still　account　for　80　percent　of　all　passenger　travel.　
Improved　energy　efficiency　is　also　appealing,　but　automotive　fuel　economy　has　barely　made　any　progress　in　10　years.　Alternative　fuels　such　as　natural　gas,　burned　in　internal-combustion　engines,　could　be　introduced　at　relatively　low　cost,　but　they　would　lead　to　only　marginal　reductions　in　pollution　and　greenhouse　emissions　(especially　because　oil　companies　are　already　spending　billions　of　dollars　every　year　to　develop　less　polluting　types　of　gasoline).　

31.From　the　passage　we　know　that　the　increased　use　of　cars　will　______.　
A)　consume　half　of　the　oil　produced　in　the　world　
B)　have　serious　consequences　for　the　well-being　of　all　nations　
C)　widen　the　gap　between　the　developed　and　developing　countries　
D)　impose　an　intolerable　economic　burden　on　residents　of　large　cities　
32.The　U.S.　has　to　deal　with　the　problems　arising　from　vehicle　use　because　______.　
A.　most　Americans　are　reluctant　to　switch　to　public　transportation　systems　
B)　the　present　level　of　oil　prices　is　considered　unacceptable　
C)　other　countries　will　protest　its　increasing　greenhouse　emissions　
D)　it　should　take　a　lead　in　conserving　natural　resources　
33.Which　of　the　following　is　the　best　solution　to　the　problems　mentioned　in　the　passage?　
A)　The　designing　of　highly　efficient　car　engines.　
B)　A　reduction　of　vehicle　use　in　cities.　
C)　The　development　of　electric　cars.　
D)　The　use　of　less　polluting　fuels.　
34.Which　of　the　following　is　practical　but　only　makes　a　marginal　contribution　to　solving　the　
problem　of　greenhouse　emissions?　
A)　The　use　of　fuels　other　than　gasoline.　
B)　Improved　energy　efficiency.　
C)　The　introduction　of　less　polluting　driving　systems.　
D)　Reducing　car　use　by　carpooling　
35.Which　of　the　following　statements　is　TRUE　according　to　the　passage?　
A)　The　decline　of　public　transportation　accounts　for　increased　car　use　in　western　Europe.　
B)　Cars　are　popular　in　western　Europe　even　though　fuel　prices　are　fairly　high.　
C)　The　reduction　of　vehicle　use　is　the　only　sustainable　option　in　densely　populated　western　
Europe.　
D)　Western　European　oil　companies　cannot　sustain　the　cost　of　developing　new-type　fuels.　

Passage　Four　
Questions　36　to　40　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
Reebok　executives　do　not　like　to　hear　their　stylish　athletic　shoes　called　“　footwear　for　yuppies　(雅皮士，少壮高薪职业人士)”.　They　contend　that　Reebok　shoes　appeal　to　diverse　market　segments,　especially　now　that　the　company　offers　basketball　and　children's　shoes　for　the　under-18　set　and　walking　shoes　for　older　customers　not　interested　in　aerobics　（健身操）or　running.　The　executives　also　point　out　that　through　recent　acquisitions　they　have　added　hiking　boots,　dress　and　casual　shoes,　and　high-performance　athletic　footwear　to　their　product　lines,　all　of　which　should　attract　new　and　varied　groups　of　customers.　
Still,　despite　its　emphasis　on　new　markets,　Reebok　plans　few　changes　in　the　upmarket　(高档消费人群的)retailing　network　that　helped　push　sales　to　$　1　billion　annually,　ahead　of　all　other　sports　shoe　marketers.　Reebok　shoes,　which　are　priced　from　$　27　to　$85,　will　continue　to　be　sold　only　in　better　specialty,　sporting　goods,　and　department　stores,　in　accordance　with　the　company's　view　that　consumers　judge　the　quality　of　the　brand　by　the　quality　of　its　distribution.　
In　the　past　few　years,　the　Massachusetts-based　company　has　imposed　limits　on　the　number　of　its　distributors　(and　the　number　of　shoes　supplied　to　stores),　partly　out　of　necessity.　At　times　the　unexpected　demand　for　Reebok's　exceeded　supply,　and　the　company　could　barely　keep　up　with　orders　from　the　dealers　it　already　had.　These　fulfillment　problems　seem　to　be　under　control　now,　but　the　company　is　still　selective　about　its　distributors.　At　present,　Reebok　shoes　are　available　in　about　five　thousand　retail　stores　in　the　United　States.　
Reebok　has　already　anticipated　that　walking　shoes　will　be　the　next　fitness-related　craze,　replacing　aerobics　shoes　the　same　way　its　brightly　colored,　soft　leather　exercise　footwear　replaced　conventional　running　shoes.　Through　product　diversification　and　careful　market　research,　Reebok　hopes　to　avoid　the　distribution　problems　Nike　came　across　several　years　ago,　when　Nike　misjudged　the　strength　of　the　aerobics　shoe　craze　and　was　forced　to　unload　huge　inventories　of　running　shoes　through　discount　stores.　

36.One　reason　why　Reebok's　managerial　personnel　don't　like　their　shoes　to　be　called　"footwear　
for　yuppies"　is　that　_______.　
A)　they　believe　that　their　shoes　are　popular　with　people　of　different　age　groups　
B)　new　production　lines　have　been　added　to　produce　inexpensive　shoes　
C)　"yuppies"　usually　evokes　a　negative　image　
D)　the　term　makes　people　think　of　prohibitive　prices　
37.Reebok's　view　that　"consumers　judge　the　quality　of　the　brand　by　the　quality　of　its　
distribution"　(Line　5,　Para.　2)implies　that　______.　
A)　the　quality　of　a　brand　is　measured　by　the　service　quality　of　the　store　selling　it　
B)　the　quality　of　a　product　determines　the　quality　of　its　distributors　
C)　the　popularity　of　a　brand　is　determined　by　the　stores　that　sell　it　
D)　consumers　believe　that　first-rate　products　are　only　sold　by　high-quality　stores　
38.Reebok　once　had　to　limit　the　number　of　its　distributors　because　______.　
A)　its　supply　of　products　fell　short　of　demand　
B)　too　many　distributors　would　cut　into　its　profits　
C)　the　reduction　of　distributors　could　increase　its　share　of　the　market　
D)　it　wanted　to　enhance　consumer　confidence　in　its　products　
39.Although　the　Reebok　Company　has　solved　the　problem　of　fulfilling　its　orders,　it　______.　
A)　does　not　want　to　further　expand　its　retailing　network　
B)　still　limits　the　number　of　shoes　supplied　to　stores　
C)　is　still　particular　about　who　sells　its　products　
D)　still　carefully　chooses　the　manufacturers　of　its　products　
40.What　lesson　has　Reebok　learned　from　Nike's　distribution　problems?　
A)　A　company　should　not　sell　its　high　quality　shoes　in　discount　stores.　
B)　A　company　should　not　limit　its　distribution　network.　
C)　A　company　should　do　follow-up　surveys　of　its　products.
