Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
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
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Opinion polls are now beginning to show that,whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on,high unemployment is probably here to say.This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.
But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now becoming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live.
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded—a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change.
The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
21.What is the main idea of the passage?
A） Employment became widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries.
B） Unemployment will remain a major problem for industrialized nations.
C） The industrial age may now be coming to an end.
D） Some efforts and resources should be devoted to helping more people cope with the problem of unemployment.
22.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the spread of employment?
A） The enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries.
B） The development of factories.
C） Relief from housework on the part of women.
D） Development of modern means of transportation.
23.It can be inferred from the passage that____.
A） most people who have been polled believe that the problem of unemployment may not be solved within a short period of time
B） many farmers lost their land when new railways and factories were being constructed
C） in preindustrial societies housework and community service were mainly carried out by women
D） some of the changes in work pattern that the industrial age brought have been reversed
24.What does the word “daunting” in the third paragraph mean?
A） Shocking B） Interesting
C） Confusing D） Stimulating
25.Which of the following is NOT suggested as a possible means to cope with the current situation?
A） Create situations in which people work for themselves.
B） Treat employment as the norm.
C） Endeavor to revive the household and the neighborhood as centers of production.
D） Encourage people to work in circumstances other than normal working conditions.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.
There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?
Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
26.The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage was to ____.
A）plead for the abolishment of uniforms
B）show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic society
C）advocate stronger governmental controls on the wearing of uniforms
D）convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages
27.Why does the author discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or eat the same food?
A) To show that freedom of choice is absolute.
B) To show that the government has interfered too much in the lives of individual.
C) To suggest what would happen if uniforms became compulsory.
D) To predict the way the society will be in the next few generations.
28.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author?
A) The person who wears a uniform has no self-worth.
B) Wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger concept.
C) Uniforms will hurt one entire information and entertainment industry.
D) Envy and competition are incentive to improve one’s life.
29.The word “superfluous” (Para. 3) most probably means ____.
A) indispensable B) available
C) surplus D) supplementary
30.The next paragraph in this passage might discuss____.
A) the positive effects of wearing uniforms
B) more negative effects of wearing uniforms
C) alternative to wearing uniforms
D) the legal rights of those not wishing to wear uniforms
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal - a poisonous snake or a wild cat - we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one’s own, but if we take account of the long competition, which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal man - indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man - human rage becomes more comprehensible.
In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of “us” and “them” is the touchstone of the two-party system of “democratic” politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of these modern psychological representations of the “us and them” emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it.
The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted.
31.A suitable title for this passage would be____.
A) Why Human Armies Are Formed
B) Man’s Anger Against Rage
C) The Human Capacity for Rage
D) Early Struggles of Angry Man
32.According to the author, the surprising aspect of human anger is____.
A) its lengthy and complex development
B) a conflict such as is now going on in Northern Ireland
C) that we do not fly into a temper more often
D) that we reserve anger for mankind
33.The passage suggests that____.
A) historically, we have created an “us” versus “them” society
B) humans have had a natural disinclination toward formal grouping
C) the First World War is an example of how man has always avoided domination
D) the emotional origin of the war in Ireland is lost in time
34.From the passage we can infer that ____.
A) the artificial creation of a subspecies unlike us is something that never happens
B) games are psychologically unhealthy
C) any artificially created subspecies would be our enemy
D) the real or imagined existence of an opposing subspecies is inherent in man’s activities
35.The author believes that a religious explanation for the war in Northern Ireland is____.
A) founded in historical fact
B) deceptive
C) apparent
D) probably accurate
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person. It is concerned with describing and explaining language as a matter of human behavior. People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so; they have to acquire these skills. Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree. People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology, a particular sort of behavior, the behavior, which has as its principal, function that of communication.
The trouble with the term “behavior” is that it is often taken to refer only to more or less overt, and describable, physical movements and acts. Yet part of language behavior-that of understanding spoken or written language, for example-has little or no physically observable signs. It is true we can sometimes infer that understanding has taken place by the changes that take place in the other person’s behavior. When someone has been prohibited from doing something, we may infer that he has understood the prohibition by observing that thereafter he never behaves in that way. We cannot, of course, be absolutely sure that his subsequent behavior is a result of his understanding; it might be due to a loss of interest or inclination. So behavior must be taken to include unobservable activity, often only to be inferred from other observable behavior.
Once we admit that the study of language behavior involves describing and explaining the unobservable, the situation becomes much more complicated, because we have to postulate some set of processes, some internal mechanism, which operates when we speak and understand. We have to postulate something we can call a mind. The study of language from this point of view can then be seen as a study of the specific properties, processes and states of the mind whose outward manifestations are observable behavior; what we have to know in order to perform linguistically.This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual, is thus principally concerned with explaining how we acquire language, and its relation to general human cognitive systems, and with the psychological mechanisms underlying the comprehension and production of speech; much less with the problem of what language is for, that is, its function as communication, since this necessarily involves more than a single individual.
36.What is the best title for this passage?
A) Language as Means of Communication.
B) Language and Psychology.
C) Language and the Individual.
D) Language as a Social Phenomenon.
37.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A) Language is often regarded as part of human psychology.
B) People develop language skills of different degrees as a result of different personal experiences.
C) Language is a special kind of psychological behavior that is born with an individual.
D) People learn to speak and write through imitation and training.
38.What does the term “behavior” in the second paragraph especially refer to in this passage?
A) It refers to observable and physical movements and acts.
B) It refers to the part of language behavior that involves understanding or interpretation.
C) It refers to both the overt and the unobservable language behaviors in communicating.
D) It refers to acts of speaking and writing.
39.What does “internal mechanism”(Line 3, Para. 3) mean?
A) Secret machine. B) Mental processes.
C) Overt system. D) Mechanic operation.
40.What can you infer from the passage?
A) Its individualistic approach to language is meant to study the psychological processes of language acquisition.
B) The individualistic approach to language is mainly concerned with how language functions in society.
C) The study of language is sure to involve more than a single individual.
D) Psychological approach to language is concerned with the comprehension and production of speech.

Part Ⅳ Error Correction (15 minutes)
Directions:This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (／) in the blank.
We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar as ours.
You may have noticed about how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s individual way of walking with raised shoulders is imitated by an admired fan; a pair or lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employer finds himself duplicating his boss’s habit of wagging (摆动) a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may consciously notice the imitation but he will feel comfortably in its presence. And if he does notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to them.
Sensitive people have been mirroring their friend and acquaintances all their lives., and winning affection and respect in this way without aware of their methods. Now, for people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy, some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical imitation.

Part Ⅱ
Passage One
内容概要:
根据民意测验的结果，失业率居高不下可能会持续一段时间，因而我们得想办法让更多的人来分享现有的工作，这就需要人们改变以往的工作观念，以获得更多的就业机会。从历史的角度来看，多方面的因素使得人们越来越依赖于有报酬的工作，但就业使得妇女、青少年和上了年纪的人处于劣势，带来了社会问题。因此，现在该是转变思想的时候了。
21.【答案】D。
【译文】根据短文得知，应该花些精力和才力来帮助更多的人解决失业问题。
【试题分析】主旨大意题。通过找文章的主题句以及各段落主题句可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章开篇段Opinion polls are now beginning to show that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to say. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely和结尾段The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs。所以答案为D。
22.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，妇女从家务劳动中解放出来不是就业普及的因素。
【试题分析】 是非题。一误三正，通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章第四段中提到工作普及的三个原因：Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries (22A对) made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system (22B对)destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved (22D对), first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they live。这段话中没有提到C，所以答案为C。
23.【答案】A。
【译文】根据短文得知，接受民意测试的大多数人认为失业问题可能在短期内得不到解决。
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到原文找相关的句子来推断，便可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第三段第二句话“The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed”, 可选项D中为have been reversed，因而排除选项D；根据第五段第二句In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community男女共同承当劳动，可以排除C；根据第四段第一句话the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land，可以排除B；根据第一段内容high unemployment is probably here to say，答案为A。
24.【答案】A。
【译文】根据短文得知，工业时代带来的一些工作模式上的变化可能必须颠倒过来，这似乎是一个令人奇怪的想法。
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第三段The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work。通过第四句话“但实际上它可以为工作提供一个更好的前景。”中的转折含义可以断定最接近daunting的词义为A。
25.【答案】B。
【译文】根据短文得知，把就业作为标准来看待不能解决当前失业问题。
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正，通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第二段中提出的解决办法：We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? (25B不对) Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respecting people to work?（25D对） Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves（25A对）, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? （25C对）。以上几个问句都是修辞疑问句，肯定形式作否定理解，否定形式作肯定理解。所以答案为B。
Passage Two
内容概要:
本文讨论了在任何情况下，都不能强迫一个人穿制服。制服的作用在于告诉人们穿制服的个人是没有价值的，他只不过是集体的一部分。有人认为穿制服给人一种集体认同感，但这世上还有什么比个人更重要的呢？也有人认为穿制服的做法，比如说穿校服，能够消除人们之间的羡慕与竞争，至少在服装方面是这样的，但是没有了羡慕和竞争，也就自然没有了激励人们改善生活的上进心。另外，穿制服对信息工业和娱乐业也产生负面影响。
26.【答案】D。
【译文】根据短文得知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是说服读者制服的缺点比优点多。
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句以及各段落主题句可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章开篇段第一句No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance可以看出，穿制服不好，接下来简要说明原因：Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth。所以答案为D。
27.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，强迫每个人买同样的车，吃同样的食物，作者举这两个例子是用来说明如果强迫人们穿制服，会是什么结果。
【试题分析】类比题。通过类比的例子可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. 如果每个人都被迫做同样的事，包括被迫穿制服，那么其结果是all incentive to improve one’s life is removed。因而答案为C。
28.【答案】B。
【译文】根据短文得知，穿制服给人一种集体认同感，这一说法是错误的。
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正，通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第一段最后一句The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth, A说法是对的。根据第二段第一句There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept，有人赞成穿制服gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept，但接下来一句What could be more important than the individual himself?反驳了该观点，因而B说法不对。根据文章最后三句：The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse。特别是根据最后一句可以看出，C说法是对的。根据第二段里的意思: envy and competition...It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. 人们失去了envy and competition，什么都要求一致，也就失去了改善生活的动力，从正面来说，答案为B。
29.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，推销员也成了多余的了。
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第三段里的If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well，特别是as well, 可以看出superfluous与unnecessary是近义词，因而答案是C。
30.【答案】B。
【译文】根据短文得知，这篇文章的下一段将可能进一步讨论穿制服的负面影响。
【试题分析】推断题。通过文章的宏观结构可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章开篇第一句即主题句，说“在任何情况下都不能强迫一个人穿制服。”以下两段从不同方面说明穿制服不好，文章没有结尾，接下来可能继续讨论穿制服不好。所以答案是B。
Passage Three
内容概要:
本文介绍人类所具有的盲目的愤怒。愤怒可能是来自于求生本能的一种情感，但令人奇怪的是，人类从不把愤怒发泄到其他动物身上，而是在同种类的人身上。在我们日常生活的言语行为中，我们常常使用“我们与他们”这样的字眼，“我们”这边最终要战胜“他们”那边。在各种比赛中，我们也人为地制造出自己的对立面。人类这种“我们与他们”的心态导致了人与人之间毁灭性的冲突。
31.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，文章合适的标题可能是人类的愤怒。
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章开篇第一句，即主题句：A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage。 所以答案为C。
32.【答案】D。
【译文】根据短文得知，令人奇怪的是，人类的愤怒总是发泄在同种类的人身上。
【试题分析】细节题。通过题干回到文章中找对应的地方便可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第一段第二句but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals，和第五句We reserve rage for our own species，所以答案为D。
33.【答案】A。
【译文】根据短文得知，文章暗示从历史的角度来看，我们人为地制造了一个“我们”与“他们”相对立的社会。
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到文章中找对应的地方便可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见最后一段：The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted，所以答案为A。
34.【答案】D。
【译文】从本文我们可以推断出在人类活动中，作为对立面的亚种类是真实存在的，或者是想象出来的。
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到文章中找相关的句子来推断，便可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第二段段首：In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack，所以答案为D。
35.【答案】B。
【译文】根据短文得知，作者相信，从宗教的角度来解释北爱尔兰战争是迷惑人的。
【试题分析】词义题。通过对文章中illusionary的理解便可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见最后一段第四句：The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory（迷惑人的，虚幻的）, 所以答案为B。
Passage Four
内容概要:
本文介绍了作为个人现象的语言，可以被看作是对人类行为的描述和解释。人能说会道，但这些技能都是后天习得。语言是人类心理活动的一部分，它是一种特别的行为。“行为”一词多用来指在一定程度上外显的、可描述的身体活动或行动，但一部分语言行为却几乎没有或根本没有外显的标志。因此，语言行为应该包括非外显的活动在内。既然语言行为包括外显和非外显的行为，我们就得建立起某种内在机制，这种内在机制在我们说话或理解别人话语时起作用。
36.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，文章的标题是语言与个人。
【试题分析】主旨题。通过文章的主题句可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见开篇句：The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person和结尾段第一句：This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual...，这两个句子里都提到了language 和the individual，所以答案为C。
37.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，语言是一种特殊的心理行为，是与生俱来的。
【试题分析】是非题。一误三正，通过选项对应文章中的细节可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第一段里句子People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so (37C不对); they have to acquire these skills (37D对). Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree（37B对）. People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology (37A对), 所以答案为C。
38.【答案】C。
【译文】根据短文得知，第二段里的behavior一词既指交际中外显的语言行为，又指非外显的语言行为。
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见第二段第一、二句话：The trouble with the term “behavior” is that it is often taken to refer only to more or less overt, and describable, physical movements and acts. Yet part of language behavior that of understanding spoken or written language, for example has little or no physically observable signs. 所以答案为C。
39.【答案】B。
【译文】根据短文得知，internal mechanism指的是大脑对语言的加工。
【试题分析】词义题。通过上下文可以得知答案。
【详细解答】见Para.3第一句because从句we have to postulate some set of processes, some internal mechanism, which operates when we speak and understand，some internal mechanism是对some set of processes的解释，所以答案为B。
40.【答案】A。
【译文】根据短文得知，个人接触语言的方法指的是研究语言习得的心理过程。
【试题分析】推断题。通过选项回到文章中找相关的句子来推断，便可以得知答案。

Part Ⅳ
71.as改为to。Similar（相似的）与介词to连用，表示“与…相似”。
72.去掉about。 notice为及物动词，后面直接接宾语。
73.these改为those。当特指“那些人”时，只能用those, 后面接定语从句。
74.admired改为admiring。 根据句子的意思，是fan去admire运动员（sportsman），因而admire用现在分词形式。
75.employer改为employee。 根据句子的意思，模仿老板的行为的那个人，应该是employee (雇员)。
76.consciously改为unconsciously。根据句子的意思，有影响力的人并非刻意去注意他们对自己的模仿，应该是unconsciously（无意识地）。
77.comfortably改为comfortable。 根据句子的意思，feel后面应该接形容词(comfortable)做表语。
78.them改为him。根据句子的意思，he在影响他人，因此，他人在向他（him）靠拢。
79.friend改为friends。与friend并列的是acquaintances (熟人)，而acquaintances 用的是复数，friend也用复数。
80.在aware之前加上being. Aware是形容词，不能直接做介词without的宾语，加上 being动名词，与aware一起做介词without的宾语。
Part Ⅴ

参考范文：
The Development of Private Cars
There is no denying the fact that the development of private cars is a popular topic which is much talked about. Yet opinions of it vary from person to person.Some people claim that there are many advantages in possessing a car. A car offers a greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by waiting for buses or taxis. With a car he can go where he likes and when he wants, so that he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the countryside or seaside on weekends, instead of being confined to his immediate neighborhood.
However, others strongly object to the development of private cars. They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the streets, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere. Furthermore, private cars contribute to traffic congestion that makes a great nuisance.
So far as I am concerned, I fully believe that the advantages of private cars outweigh their disadvantages. What’s more, there are at least two effective ways to cope with the demerits. The first way to tackle it is to appeal to the authorities to take drastic measures to produce less poisonous cars. The other policy that is worth adopting is to build up more roads to reduce the traffic jam. In this way we can succeed in dealing with the problem and make full use of private cars.
