[08:41.79]Passage One

[08:40.79]Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

[08:39.79]In most of the human civilizations of which we have any proper records,youth has drawn3 on either art or life for models,planning to emulate4 the heroes depicted5 in epics,on the shadow-play screen or the stage,or those known human beings,fathers or grandfathers,chiefs or craftsmen,whose every characteristic can be studied and imitated.As recently as 1910,this was the prevailing6 condition in the United States.If he came from a nonliterate backbround,the recent immigrant learned to speak,move,and think like an American by using his eyes and ears on the labor8 line and in the homes of more acculturated cousins,by watching school children,or by absorbing the standards of the teacher,the foreman,the clerk who served him in the store.For the literate7 and the literate children of the nonliterate,three was art-the story of the frustrated9 artist in the prairie town,of the second generation battling with the limitations of the first.And at a simpler level,there were the Western nad Hollywood fairty tales which pointed10 a moral but did not,as a rule,teach table manners.With the development of the countermovement against Hollywood,with the efllorescence of photography,with Time-Life-Fortune types of reporting and the dead-pan New Yorker manner of describing the life of and old-clothes dealer11 in a forgotten street or of presenting the "accurate","checked"details of the lives of people whose eminence12 gave at least a sort of license13 to attack them,with the passion for "human documents"in Depression days-a necessary substitute for proletarian art among middle-class writers who knew nothing about proletarians,and middle-class readers who needed the shock of verisimilitude-a new era in American life was ushered14 in,the era in which young people imitated neither life nor art nor fairy tale,but instead were presented with models draw from life with minimal15 but crucial distortions.Doctored life histories,posed carelessness,"candid"shots of people in their own homes which took hours to arrange,pictures shot from real life to scripts written months before-supplemented by national polls and surveys which assured the reader that this bobby-soxe did indeed represent a national norm or a growing trend-replaced the older models.

[08:38.79]21.This article is based on the idea that_.  A.people today do not look for models to imitate  B.people generally pattern their lives after models  C.who we emulate is not important  D.heroes are passe

[08:37.79]22.The nonliterate immigrant became Americanized by observation of those around him and by_.  A.undergoing a formal educative process  B.accepting the standards of those with whom he came is contact  C.emulating16 traditional American heroes  D.participating is the democratic experiment

[08:36.79]23.Stories of the second generation battling with the limitations of the first were often responsible for_.  A.inspiring literate immigrants  B.frustrating17 educated immigrants  C.preventing the assimilation of immigrants  D.instilling18 into immigrants an antagonistic19 attitude toward their forebears

[08:35.79]24.Watching movies,children of immigrants probably learned_.  A.that good conquers evil  B.table maners  C.courting habits  D.the real American way of life

[08:33.79]Passage Two

[08:32.79]Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

[08:31.79]The food irradiation process is a simple one.The new U.S.plant,Vindicator of Florida Incorporated in Mulberry,Fla.,uses a material called cobalt 60 to irradiate food.Cobalt 60 is radioactive isotope22(form)of the metallic23 element cobalt.Cobalt 60,which gives off radiation in the form of gamma rays,is also used for radiation therapy for cancer patients and for sterilizing24 hospital equipment.The radioactive isotope is created by bombarding cobalt with subatomic particles in a nuclear reactor25.However,irradiation plants do not themselves contain nuclear reactors26.In the irradiation plant,food is exposed to thin rods of cobalt 60.The rods give off gamma rays,which disrupt chemical processes in contaminating organisms.The disruption breaks down the cell walls of organisms or destroys their genetic27 material.The dose,set by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA),is enough to kill organisms on food,but not enough to produce significant changes in the food itself.Although irradiation slightly decreases the nutritive value of foods,the loss is less than that produced by some other methods of food preservation28.Canning,for example,results in a much greater loss of nutrients29.Those who object to irradiation say that the process may create substances not found in nonirradiated food.Since the 1960's researchers have studied irradiated food at microscopic30 levels to try to find such substances,called unique radiolytic products.After reviewing these sutdies,the FDA determined31 that compounds formed during irratiation are similar to substance found in nonirradiated foods and are not dangerous to consume.Destruction of micro-organisms that cause illness is an important goal of irradiation.About 25 million cases of food poisoning or 1 per person-occur every year in the U.S.,according to FDA estimates.Food poisoning can cause vomiting,diarrhea,fever,headache-and,occasionally,death.Because of the apparent safety of food irradiation,and the problems presented by contaminated food,scientific groups-including the Amercian Medical Association,the World Health Organization,and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Association-have voiced nearly universal support for the process.Worldwide,38 nations have approved irradiation for 355 products.Like microwave ovens,food irradiation has aroused apprehension32 and misunderstanding.Yet it has been scrutinized33 more thoroughly34 than other methods of food treatment that we have come to regard as safe,and it appears to be a method whose time has come.

[08:30.79]26.Cobalt 60,besides irradiating food,is also employed to_.  A.detect metallic flaws  B.run a nuclear reactor  C.cure cancer patients  D.strengthen concrete walls

[08:29.79]27.Gamma rays used to irradiate food_.  A.are generally not strong enough to destroy contaminating organisms  B.do not bring about significant changes in the food itself  C.may destroy some of the nutrients in the food  D.should be submited to FDA for approval

[08:28.79]28.Irradiated food_.  A.certainly loses its nutritive value  B.maintains its nutritive value no different from the nonirradiated  C.keeps its nutritive value better than canned food.  D.is recommended as the best of all preserved foods

[08:27.79]29.With cases of food poisoning increasing,_.  A.food irradiation should be carried out with care  B.it is more urgent to irradiate foods  C.medical researches into treatment of the diseased should be strengthened  D.Americans are beginning to accept food irradiation

[08:26.79]30.The passage may be taken from_.  A.a news report  B.a textbook of food processing  C.a book of popular science  D.a manual of food irradiation

[08:25.79]Passage Three

[08:24.79]Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

[08:23.79]The desire for achievement is one of life's great mysteries.Social scientists have devoted35 lifetimes to studying the drives that spur us out of bed in the morning,compel us to work or study hard and spark all manner of human endeavor.Indeed,a 1992 textbook actually documents 32 distinct theories of human motivation.Given his diversity of thought,it's easy to forget that for a half century,American society has been dominated by the psychological school known as behaviorism,or Skinnerian psychology36.Although behaviorism and its fundamental principle of "positive reinforcement"have long since lost their sway in academic circles,the Skinnerian legacy37 remains38 powerful is every realm of daily life,from the home and classroom to the workplace.Don't want to take the trash out?Do it,and you can go to the movies Friday night.Not in the mood for work?Keep Plugging away,and you might get a bonus.Not interested in calculus39?Strive for an A in the class,and you'll make the honor roll.The theory may be bankrupt,but incentives41 and rewards are so much a part of American culture that it's hard to imagine life without them.Yet that's exactly what a growing group of researchers are advocating today.A steady stream of research has found that rather than encouraging motivation and productivity,rewards actually can undermine genuine interest and diminish performance."Our society is caught in a whopping paradox,"asserts Alfie Kohn,author of the new book Punished by Rewards(Houghton Mifflin),which surveys recent on the effectiveness of rewards."We complain loudly about declining productivity,the crisis of our school and the distorted values of our children.But the very strategy we use to solve those problems_dangling rewards like incentive40 plans and grade and candy bars in front of people-is partly responsible for the fix we're in."It's tough argument to make in a culture that celebrates the spoils of success.Yet study after study shows that people tend to perform worse,to give up more easily and to lose interest more quickly when a reward is involved.Children who are given treats for doing artwork,for example,lose their initial love of art within weeks.Teenagers who are promised a reward for tutoring youngsters don't teach as enthusiastically as tutors offered nothing.And chief executive officers who have been awarded long-term incentive plans have often steered42 their companies toward lower returns.

[08:22.79]31.According to behaviorism,all human actions_.  A.are based on stimulus43 and response  B.have no bearing on human drives  C.are supposed to be highly motivated  D.are of a great mystery

[08:21.79]32.Behaviorism basically believes in_.  A.motivation  B.performance  C.rewards  D.human factors

[08:20.79]33.In Paragraph 2,"calculus"probably refers to "_".  A.a course  B.a sport  C.a kind of public service  D.a position in the student union

[08:19.79]34.From the passage,it can be inferred that_.  A.rewards are highly effective in America  B.rewards are not much sought-after in academic circles  C.rewards have long lost their appeal in American society  D.Americans are addicted44 to rewards

[08:18.79]35.Which of the following is in support of the finding that 'people tend to perforn worse,...when a reward is involved'(last paragraph)?  A.People are not used to being conditioned by prizes.  B.Rewards,like punishments,are attempts to control behavior.  C.Rewards are so indispensable to American culture.  D.The principle of "positive reinforcement"is not fully45 enforced.

[08:17.79]Passage Four

[08:16.79]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

[08:15.79]Visitors to Britain are often surprised to find that the weather is almost inexhausible topic of conversation.This is because there is always an element of surprise in the British climate.In some countries,people can put away their raincoats for several months and let out their fires during the burning heat of the summer.Not so in England,where we never know from one day to the next what is in store for us.One year,we had a spell of very hot weather is early June and decided46 to spend the weekend at the seaside.I packed the suitcases and got the children ready to leave.When at last everything was in the car I sat down in the front seat,hot and tired,and gradually revived in the pleasant,cool breeze as my husband drove towards the coast.For the first few miles I thought happily of sea and sand and peace.But not for long,the sky began to cloud over and by the time we arrived it was a leaden grey.We hoped that the sun would shine next day.Saturday was dismal47 and wet,with a cold wind which reminded us sharply of winter.We sat round the fire playing indoor games.The following day was still chilly,wet and unfriendly.Perhaps the English have had to develop a sort of ingenuity48 in dealing49 with the unexpected,an ingenuity which would be quite unnecessary in more predictable climates.There is an old story of a Devonshire man who was caught in a heavy storm when he was crossing part of Dartmoor with a friend,on his way to wedding.They were miles from any shelter;there was not even a tree in sight.They had set out in bright sunshine and had thought the weather was set fair,but when they were far from all habitation black clouds began to build up in the sky and it became clear that a storm was threatening.There was nothing in sight but rocks and low bushes and the men were wearing only suits,with no means of protecting themselves from the coming rain.One of them had an idea;he underssed and put everything neatly50 folded under a large rock.His friend,more cautious,thought he had gone mad,but as the first big drops of rain gave a steady downpour,he began to wish that he had done the same,especially when his companion who had dried off in the hot sun which followd the shower,finished the journey in a quite presentable suit,while his own clothes were as damp and shapeless as if he had spent the night in a very wet ditch.

[08:14.79]36.What is it about the weather that often surprises visitors to Britain?  A.It is an interesting topic.  B.People talk a lot about it.  C.It is so changeable.  D.It is an exhausting climate.

[08:12.79]38.Why did they play indoor games?  A.They enjoyed sitting round a fire in the open air.  B.Because there was no one to play with on the beach.  C.To keep themselves occupied.  D.They were frightened of the dogs.
