In recent years, more and more foreigners are involved in the teaching programs of the United States.

Have you got good legs ? Yes ? Well, these are only the basic requirements. 22 , make up your mind how you are going to begin. You can go to a model school, although such schools are expensive. There they will teach you ;how to make the best of yourself; how to make up well, how to walk, how to look after your complexion and your hair. But you may not have enough money for this. What can you do ? Have some photographs taken by a really good 23 photographer who knows the fashion business. If you are not photogenic well, there’s nothing that ever the best photographer can do for you.

You can either become a house model, or a free-lance. A house model is an 24 , like the salesgirls and the book-keeping staff. She is employed by a dress firm to 25 clothes.

Whenever you see an old film., even one made as little as ten years ago, you cannot help being struck by the appearance of the women taking part. Their hair-styles and make-up look 21 ; their skirts look either too long or too short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ridiculous. The men taking part in the film, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. There is nothing about their appearance to 22 that they belong to an entirely different age.

This illusion is created by changing fashions. Over the years, the great majority of men have successfully resisted all attempts to make them change their 23 . The same cannot be said for women. Each year a few so-called “top designers” in Paris or London lay 24 the law and women the whole world over rush to obey. The orders of the designers are unpredictable and authoritative. This year, they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will be high; zips are in and buttons are out. Next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception, no one is even mildly 25 .

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only 26 to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are 27 , they are annually shaken down by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be discarded because of the dictates of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has 28 to wear.

Charging fashions are nothing more than the deliberate creation of waste. Many women misspend vast sums of money each year replacing clothes that have 29 been worn. Women who cannot afford to discard

37

clothing in this way, waste hours of their time 30 the dresses they have. Waist-lines are taken in or let out; neck-lines are lowered or raised and so on.

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

CHINA’S computer market recorded a 39.1 percent increase in the first half of the year, making the country the world’s fastest growing consumer of personal computers.

China grabbed 23 percent of PC sales in the Asia-Pacific region, with the exception of Japan, between January and June.

This represents the largest buying force in the region, a survey report from Dataquest, an internationally renowned US-based market survey firm, indicated.

Meanwhile, the Legend Group, the biggest PC seller in China, ranked eighth among the region’s top 10 computer makers, holding 2.45 percent of the market share.

Attracted by the market’s high growth and profitability, more new firms, mainly from the domestic industrial sector, jumped on the bandwagon in spite of increasingly stiff competition.

The Heguang Group, a leading computer agent in China, unveiled its own PC brand at the end of August in Beijing, Shanghai and three other Chinese cities. The company opened more than 30 specialty shops and even maintenance centres across China.

Xu, Lingyu, Vice-President of Heguang, said the Group’s

44

production capacity is 200,000 PCs annually. The firm has one of the strongest sales networks in China and is prepared to compete head to head with any PC agent.

Earlier, a new round of competition swept the marketplace, with the participation of several big-sized electronics firms, including HiSense, one of China’s largest household electronic appliance manufactures, and the Shida Group in Fujian.

Joel Stead, Vice-President of Seagate, the world’s largest supplier of hard discs, said about 3 million PCs will be sold on the Chinese mainland this year, providing a great business opportunity for most computer makers.

The company spent $25 million on its production base in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, last year, and Seagate’s investment will reach $200 million in the Chinese market this year, he said.

33. Many new companies have joined the PC market _____________. A. as they see the opportunity for high profits in it B. because there is much harder competition in other areas C. after they have set up sales networks in China

D. because the old, big electronics firms are moving into other

markets

34. The Heguang Group is best known __________ in China. A. as a leading computer agent B. for its PC production capacity C. as the largest supplier of hard discs D. for its high-quality maintenance services

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishmen has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality,

47

but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as “ an excellent jewel”, “extremely beautiful”, “precious”, the Englishman will flatly state “Um, she’s all right”. An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “it’s not bad, you know,” or on seeing very unusual scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that “all right”, “not bad,” and “nice”, very often have the sense of “first-class”, “excellent”, “beautiful”. This special use of language, particularly common in England, is known as restrained statement.

36. From the passage people can infer that the English are different from other nationalities mainly in _________. A. taste B. character

C. the principle of behavior D. all aspects

37. If one doesn’t want to be suspected in public, he had better _____________.

A. behave relaxed

B. shake hands with all people he meets C. talk with others

48

D. keep quiet

38. The word “inhibited” (line 9) most nearly means _____________. A. friendly B. polite C. afraid D. restrained

39. According to the passage, the Englishman ___________.

19. has less feelings than other nationalities 20. has emotions as deep as any other nationalities 21. expresses emotion by use of his language 22. likes to have a joke with foreign visitors

40. An Englishman’s saying “all right” usually has the sense of ______________. A. “not bad” B. “quite right” C. “fairly good” D. “very good”

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

The latest research by the Chinese Women’s Daily and the Institute of Journalism under the Chinese Academy of Social sciences, aimed at investigating the relationships between parents and children, disclosed that nearly 60 million couples throughout the country felt they had failed as parents.

“I am not very successful in educating my child. If I could live another life, I’d rather not have any children,” a mother declared. Such frustration was prevalent in the answers to the questionnaires. Some parents feel they lack means of educating, some find difficulty in communicating with their children, some feel totally lost at what their children should be taught ----- traditional Chinese morality such as honesty, modesty, forbearance and caring, or the modern ethos of competition ? Educational experts read the answers to the questionnaires, analyzed the problems, and advised parents.

About 58.2 percent of parents are worried about TV’s negative influence: children’s programs are taking up too much homework time; too many foreign cartoons are neither “scientific” nor interesting; too many explicit love scenes and violence; many TV plays are far removed from reality„ Parents want to know how to prevent these influences.

About 19.9 percent of the parents complained about their children being too carefree with money. “Today’s children are spoiled. They will accept nothing but brand-name commodities. When celebrating birthdays, they like to give luxurious parties and on festivals they expect expensive gifts,’ some parents said. Many parents agree that

50

their children are ignorant of hardship, thrift hard work, and public ethics.

With the implementation of the one-child policy, a new problem has become obvious: loneliness. Of the children who answered the questionnaire, 14.8 percent said they had no close friend, and 17.6 percent often felt lonely.

A grave problem which has bothered parents is “sex..” “I don’t know how to talk about “sex” with my child,” many parents say. “Sex” has been taboo in China for ages. Though people are now more open-minded, “sex” is often considered to be related to evil. Often when a child asks his mother where he has come from, his mother feels embarrassed.

31. The research shows that 60 million couples _____________. A. had failed their parents B. didn’t want to be parents C. had failed to become parents D. didn’t know how to be good parents

32. Many parents are worried about TV’s negative influence because they think ___________.

A. too many foreign programs on science are not interesting B. there are not enough cartoons for children to enjoy C. some of the programs don’t present the true picture of the

world to children

51

D. love and violence are not clearly presented to them

33. When parents complain that “today’s children are spoiled,” they mean that ___________.

A. these children show no interest in money

B. they are only interested in a luxurious material life C. no one has taught them the merits of the nation

D. they don’t like brand-name commodities as birthday presents

34. According to the research ___________.

A. 14.8 percent of parents are open about “sex”

B. 17.6 percent of children have the problem of loneliness C. 19.9 percent of children have been bothered about “sex” D. 58.2 percent of parents agree that their children are

problematic

35. Many Chinese parents don’t talk about “sex” to their children because _____________.

A. they don’t know anything about it themselves B. it is still a taboo topic in China today

C. they don’t know how to explain it to their children D. children will learn about it by themselves anyway

52

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The natural sciences are primarily concerned with the material world (including living organisms insofar as they are part of the material world), and their aim is to disclose the structure and behavior of material things in generalized terms (in terms of mathematics so far as possible) which will be true irrespective of variable conditions of time or place. In dealing with his subject matter, the work of the natural scientist is greatly facilitated by the fact that he is not emotionally engaged with it : he does not care how his subject matter behaves, his subject matter is indifferent to what he does to it, and ignorant of what he has learned about it. Fortunately for the physicist, the atom cannot acquire a knowledge of physics. The physicist can, therefore, proceed on the assumption that any knowledge he may acquire about the behavior of the atom will not modify its behavior and thereby invalidate conclusions based upon its behavior up to date.

The social scientist cannot make this assumption, at least not without important qualifications. For his subject matter is the behavior of men in the world of human relations; and men are not, like the atom, indifferent to what is done to them or ignorant of what is learned about them. On the contrary, the subject matter of the social scientist can find out what he has learned about its behavior in the past, and, as a result of that knowledge, behave differently in the future. This is the fundamental difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences; whereas the behavior of material things remains the same whatever men learn about them,. The behavior of men is always conditioned by what they know about themselves and the world in which they live.

53

36. This passage mainly talks about _________.

A. the differences between the natural scientist and the social

scientist

B. the functions of the natural sciences and the social sciences C. the aim of the natural sciences and the social sciences D. the differences between the natural sciences and the social

sciences

37. The natural scientist is not emotionally engaged with his subject matter because _____________.

A. his subject matter is irrespective of variable conditions of

time and place

B. his subject matter is indifferent to what is done to it, and

ignorant of what has been learned about it

C. he is indifferent to what he does to his subject matter D. he is ignorant of what he has learned about his subject matter

38. By saying “the atom cannot acquire a knowledge of physics”, the writer meant that ___________. A. the atom cannot learn physics

B. the atom cannot find out what the physicist has learned about

it

54

C. the atom cannot learn anything about the physicist D. the physicist does not acquire much knowledge about atom

39. The “knowledge” (Line 7, Para. 2) refers to ______________.

23. the knowledge of its behavior 24. the knowledge of the subject matter

25. the knowledge of what the social scientist has learned

about its behavior in the past

26. the knowledge of the social scientist

40. According to the passage, the fundamental difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences is that _____________. A. the social sciences are primarily concerned with the behavior

of material things whereas the natural sciences mainly deal with the behavior of men.

B. The natural scientist does not care how his subject matter

behaves while the social scientist is interested in the behavior of his subject matter

C. The social sciences deal with the behavior of men whereas the

natural sciences deal with the behavior of material things D. Men are always conditioned by their behavior whereas material

things are not affected by their behavior

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

Cai Chunlong, 28, found a job after graduating from college, doing marketing for a company in Beijing. Last September, when he saw in the China Youth News a notice recruiting volunteers to go to poor areas to help local people eradicate poverty, Cai suddenly found it was something he really wanted to do and immediately applied. Two months later, Cai became a member of the first group of volunteers in the Poverty Relief Relay Program, and, given a year’s leave by his company, went to Jingle County in Shanxi Province with 21 other members.

The Poverty Relief Relay Program was launched by the China Young Volunteers Association (CYVA) in order to recruit volunteers from all walks of life to work in poor areas and share their experience in education, medicine, science and technology. Each group of volunteers puts in one year of service.

CYVA was founded in 1994, aimed at motivating young people to provide voluntary service for the public good. As the first and largest organization of its kind in China, it has had an extensive impact on social welfare programs in China.

The Poverty Relief Relay Program was conceived in June of 1996, when the CYVA investigated several rural counties in northern China and finally chose Jingle as the first target for the program. In September, a notice to recruit volunteers was published in several newspapers, requiring participants to have an educational level higher than junior college and qualifications for educational, or medical, or technical work. In addition, volunteers had to have their employers’ approval for a year’s leave and a guarantee of being able to resume employment after a year’s service. Usually, these volunteers have their salary suspended until they return.

56

To the great surprise of the CYVA, their ads received a heavy response. In the half month following the publication of the notice, the association received more than 200 letters and telephone calls, and 171 applications were processed. Twenty volunteers were to make up the first group, but consequently two more members were added. According to a survey conducted by a local newspaper in Beijing, most young people who had heard of the program expressed a willingness to participate.

31. What did Mr. Cai decide to do after reading the notice ? A. To do marketing for the company. B. To ask for one year’s leave. C. To become one of the volunteers

D. To launch a new program for the company.

32. CYVA launched its program ______________

A. to ask for voluntary service by the youth to the association B. to organize voluntary service for society C. to help young university graduates to find jobs D. to help people from poor areas to find jobs in the city

33. To participate in the Poverty Relief Relay Program, volunteers need _____________.

A. to be university graduates

57

B. to be from poverty stricken areas C. to have the approval of their parents

D. to have had one year’s experience working in poor areas

34. In their one year’s service, the volunteers will __________. A. have to quit their own jobs B. be paid by the local government C. receive no pay from their companies D. be paid by the companies they work for

35. The findings from the survey by the local newspaper prove that _____________.

A. many young people are fed up with the jobs they are doing B. the program is relatively unknown to the public C. very few people are interested in the program

D. many young people are willing to offer some help to others

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The house itself had been sold that morning. Now it was the turn of the contents. The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain hunters and plain sale-goers wandered about examining this and that and

58

generally having a last look around before the excitement of the chase. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting-room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.

The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fire-place stood the salesman’s desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid (喊价). Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking distinctly out of place. Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket.

The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His staff followed him in and took their places. By this time most of the chairs were occupied.

“Ladies and gentlemen, “ the salesman said, “I have been instructed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin , and we do so with Lot(拍卖品) Number One„” At this point two muscular men lifted on to the central table an enormous wooden chest. It seemed much too big for a modern house.

“Lot Number One is an oak linen chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest ? Do I hear 20 pounds ? No ? 10 pounds then. Do I hear 10 pounds ? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth 40 pounds, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started.” His eyes swung round the room.

“One pound,” a woman’s voice called.

59

“One pound I’m bid, said the salesman eagerly, for this splendid chest. Any advance on 1 pound now ? One pound I’m bid. Do I hear two ? No? Going at 1 pound then. No advance on 1 pound. Going at 1 pound. One pound. He brings his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk. “ Sold for 1 pound to Mrs. Duke.”

Mrs. Duke is a dealer in second-hand furniture.

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

CHINA’S computer market recorded a 39.1 percent increase in the first

61

half of the year, making the country the world’s fastest growing consumer of personal computers.

China grabbed 23 percent of PC sales in the Asia-Pacific region, with the exception of Japan, between January and June.

This represents the largest buying force in the region, a survey report from Dataquest, an internationally renowned US-based market survey firm, indicated.

Meanwhile, the Legend Group, the biggest PC seller in China, ranked eighth among the region’s top 10 computer makers, holding 2.45 percent of the market share.

Attracted by the market’s high growth and profitability, more new firms, mainly from the domestic industrial sector, jumped on the bandwagon in spite of increasingly stiff competition.

The Heguang Group, a leading computer agent in China, unveiled its own PC brand at the end of August in Beijing, Shanghai and three other Chinese cities. The company opened more than 30 specialty shops and even maintenance centres across China.

Xu, Lingyu, Vice-President of Heguang, said the Group’s production capacity is 200,000 PCs annually. The firm has one of the strongest sales networks in China and is prepared to compete head to head with any PC agent.

Earlier, a new round of competition swept the marketplace, with the participation of several big-sized electronics firms, including HiSense, one of China’s largest household electronic appliance manufactures, and the Shida Group in Fujian.

Joel Stead, Vice-President of Seagate, the world’s largest supplier of hard discs, said about 3 million PCs will be sold on the Chinese mainland this year, providing a great business opportunity for most computer makers.

62

The company spent $25 million on its production base in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, last year, and Seagate’s investment will reach $200 million in the Chinese market this year, he said.

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishmen has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as “ an excellent jewel”, “extremely beautiful”, “precious”, the Englishman will flatly state “Um, she’s all right”. An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “it’s not bad, you know,” or on seeing very unusual scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this

65

apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that “all right”, “not bad,” and “nice”, very often have the sense of “first-class”, “excellent”, “beautiful”. This special use of language, particularly common in England, is known as restrained statement.

36. From the passage people can infer that the English are different from other nationalities mainly in _________. E. taste F. character

G. the principle of behavior H. all aspects

37. If one doesn’t want to be suspected in public, he had better _____________.

E. behave relaxed

F. shake hands with all people he meets G. talk with others H. keep quiet

38. The word “inhibited” (line 9) most nearly means _____________. E. friendly F. polite

66

G. afraid H. restrained

39. According to the passage, the Englishman ___________.

35. has less feelings than other nationalities 36. has emotions as deep as any other nationalities 37. expresses emotion by use of his language 38. likes to have a joke with foreign visitors

40. An Englishman’s saying “all right” usually has the sense of ______________. E. “not bad” F. “quite right” G. “fairly good” H. “very good”

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

The latest research by the Chinese Women’s Daily and the Institute of Journalism under the Chinese Academy of Social sciences, aimed at investigating the relationships between parents and

67

children, disclosed that nearly 60 million couples throughout the country felt they had failed as parents.

“I am not very successful in educating my child. If I could live another life, I’d rather not have any children,” a mother declared. Such frustration was prevalent in the answers to the questionnaires. Some parents feel they lack means of educating, some find difficulty in communicating with their children, some feel totally lost at what their children should be taught ----- traditional Chinese morality such as honesty, modesty, forbearance and caring, or the modern ethos of competition ? Educational experts read the answers to the questionnaires, analyzed the problems, and advised parents.

About 58.2 percent of parents are worried about TV’s negative influence: children’s programs are taking up too much homework time; too many foreign cartoons are neither “scientific” nor interesting; too many explicit love scenes and violence; many TV plays are far removed from reality„ Parents want to know how to prevent these influences.

About 19.9 percent of the parents complained about their children being too carefree with money. “Today’s children are spoiled. They will accept nothing but brand-name commodities. When celebrating birthdays, they like to give luxurious parties and on festivals they expect expensive gifts,’ some parents said. Many parents agree that their children are ignorant of hardship, thrift hard work, and public ethics.

With the implementation of the one-child policy, a new problem has become obvious: loneliness. Of the children who answered the questionnaire, 14.8 percent said they had no close friend, and 17.6 percent often felt lonely.

A grave problem which has bothered parents is “sex..” “I don’t know how to talk about “sex” with my child,” many parents say. “Sex” has been taboo in China for ages. Though people are now more

68

open-minded, “sex” is often considered to be related to evil. Often when a child asks his mother where he has come from, his mother feels embarrassed.

31. The research shows that 60 million couples _____________. E. had failed their parents F. didn’t want to be parents G. had failed to become parents H. didn’t know how to be good parents

32. Many parents are worried about TV’s negative influence because they think ___________.

E. too many foreign programs on science are not interesting F. there are not enough cartoons for children to enjoy G. some of the programs don’t present the true picture of the

world to children

H. love and violence are not clearly presented to them

33. When parents complain that “today’s children are spoiled,” they mean that ___________.

E. these children show no interest in money

F. they are only interested in a luxurious material life

69

G. no one has taught them the merits of the nation

H. they don’t like brand-name commodities as birthday presents

34. According to the research ___________.

E. 14.8 percent of parents are open about “sex”

F. 17.6 percent of children have the problem of loneliness G. 19.9 percent of children have been bothered about “sex” H. 58.2 percent of parents agree that their children are

problematic

35. Many Chinese parents don’t talk about “sex” to their children because _____________.

E. they don’t know anything about it themselves F. it is still a taboo topic in China today

G. they don’t know how to explain it to their children H. children will learn about it by themselves anyway

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The natural sciences are primarily concerned with the material world (including living organisms insofar as they are part of the material world), and their aim is to disclose the structure and

70

behavior of material things in generalized terms (in terms of mathematics so far as possible) which will be true irrespective of variable conditions of time or place. In dealing with his subject matter, the work of the natural scientist is greatly facilitated by the fact that he is not emotionally engaged with it : he does not care how his subject matter behaves, his subject matter is indifferent to what he does to it, and ignorant of what he has learned about it. Fortunately for the physicist, the atom cannot acquire a knowledge of physics. The physicist can, therefore, proceed on the assumption that any knowledge he may acquire about the behavior of the atom will not modify its behavior and thereby invalidate conclusions based upon its behavior up to date.

The social scientist cannot make this assumption, at least not without important qualifications. For his subject matter is the behavior of men in the world of human relations; and men are not, like the atom, indifferent to what is done to them or ignorant of what is learned about them. On the contrary, the subject matter of the social scientist can find out what he has learned about its behavior in the past, and, as a result of that knowledge, behave differently in the future. This is the fundamental difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences; whereas the behavior of material things remains the same whatever men learn about them,. The behavior of men is always conditioned by what they know about themselves and the world in which they live.

36. This passage mainly talks about _________.

E. the differences between the natural scientist and the social

scientist

F. the functions of the natural sciences and the social sciences G. the aim of the natural sciences and the social sciences

71

H. the differences between the natural sciences and the social

sciences

37. The natural scientist is not emotionally engaged with his subject matter because _____________.

E. his subject matter is irrespective of variable conditions of

time and place

F. his subject matter is indifferent to what is done to it, and

ignorant of what has been learned about it

G. he is indifferent to what he does to his subject matter H. he is ignorant of what he has learned about his subject matter

38. By saying “the atom cannot acquire a knowledge of physics”, the writer meant that ___________. E. the atom cannot learn physics

F. the atom cannot find out what the physicist has learned about

it

G. the atom cannot learn anything about the physicist H. the physicist does not acquire much knowledge about atom

39. The “knowledge” (Line 7, Para. 2) refers to ______________.

39. the knowledge of its behavior 40. the knowledge of the subject matter

72

41. the knowledge of what the social scientist has learned

about its behavior in the past

42. the knowledge of the social scientist

40. According to the passage, the fundamental difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences is that _____________. E. the social sciences are primarily concerned with the behavior

of material things whereas the natural sciences mainly deal with the behavior of men.

F. The natural scientist does not care how his subject matter

behaves while the social scientist is interested in the behavior of his subject matter

G. The social sciences deal with the behavior of men whereas the

natural sciences deal with the behavior of material things H. Men are always conditioned by their behavior whereas material

things are not affected by their behavior

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage:

Cai Chunlong, 28, found a job after graduating from college, doing marketing for a company in Beijing. Last September, when he saw in the China Youth News a notice recruiting volunteers to go to poor areas to help local people eradicate poverty, Cai suddenly found it was something he really wanted to do and immediately applied. Two months later, Cai became a member of the first group of volunteers in the

73

Poverty Relief Relay Program, and, given a year’s leave by his company, went to Jingle County in Shanxi Province with 21 other members.

The Poverty Relief Relay Program was launched by the China Young Volunteers Association (CYVA) in order to recruit volunteers from all walks of life to work in poor areas and share their experience in education, medicine, science and technology. Each group of volunteers puts in one year of service.

CYVA was founded in 1994, aimed at motivating young people to provide voluntary service for the public good. As the first and largest organization of its kind in China, it has had an extensive impact on social welfare programs in China.

The Poverty Relief Relay Program was conceived in June of 1996, when the CYVA investigated several rural counties in northern China and finally chose Jingle as the first target for the program. In September, a notice to recruit volunteers was published in several newspapers, requiring participants to have an educational level higher than junior college and qualifications for educational, or medical, or technical work. In addition, volunteers had to have their employers’ approval for a year’s leave and a guarantee of being able to resume employment after a year’s service. Usually, these volunteers have their salary suspended until they return.

To the great surprise of the CYVA, their ads received a heavy response. In the half month following the publication of the notice, the association received more than 200 letters and telephone calls, and 171 applications were processed. Twenty volunteers were to make up the first group, but consequently two more members were added. According to a survey conducted by a local newspaper in Beijing, most young people who had heard of the program expressed a willingness to participate.

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage:

The house itself had been sold that morning. Now it was the turn of the contents. The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain hunters and plain sale-goers wandered about examining this and that and generally having a last look around before the excitement of the chase. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting-room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.

The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fire-place stood the salesman’s desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand,

76

an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid (喊价). Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking distinctly out of place. Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket.

The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His staff followed him in and took their places. By this time most of the chairs were occupied.

“Ladies and gentlemen, “ the salesman said, “I have been instructed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin , and we do so with Lot(拍卖品) Number One„” At this point two muscular men lifted on to the central table an enormous wooden chest. It seemed much too big for a modern house.
