| Part III Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each) Directions: In this part there are 3 passages. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your choice on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works. Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up. Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St. Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250. “There are a larger number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn‘t traditionally done,” he added. University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis. A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain. Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said, “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty. 31. Professor John Beath’s lectures are _______. A. given in a traditional way B. connected with the present situation C. open to both students and their parents D. warmly received by economists 32. Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their _______. A. greater stability B. higher pay C. fewer applications D. better reputation 33. In the opinion of most parents, _______. A. economics should be the focus of school teaching B. more students should be admitted to universities C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened D. children should solve financial problems themselves 34. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters _______. A. wiser in money management B. have access to better equipment C. confident about their future careers D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds 35. What’s the main idea of the text? |

Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection. Passage 2 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms. Certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick. Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish ban be poisonous. Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied. 36. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Food when poisoned can make people sick. B. Food poisoning means death. C. Food poisoning comes in varieties. D. Food poisoning can be serious. 37. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning ________. A. are always accompanied by a fever B. are too common to be noted C. can be noticed within hours D. can be ignored 38. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ________. A. some chemicals B. low temperatures C. some tiny living things D. certain natural materials |

| 39. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ________. A. mushrooms should not be eaten B. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood C. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals D. different types of food should be handled differently 40. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. Natural materials are safe in food processing B. Chemicals are needed in food processing C. Food poisoning can be kept under control D. Food poisoning is out of control Passage 3 Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”. The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 41. The passage is meant to ________. A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career 42. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts. C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. D. The chances for writer to become successful are small 43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book. B. He hadn’t seen anything for the better. C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. D. He thought that he lacked imagination. |

Directions: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese on the Answer Sheet. (10 points) 46. In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem less important because of greater needs: the need to shelter from cruel news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to expose dishonesty or to promote the public interest. At time, doctors see important reasons to lie for the patient’s own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones. “Ours is a profession which traditionally has been guided by a rule that exceeds the virtue of uttering the truth for truth’s sake, and that is ‘as far as possible do no harm.’” B.
