Part II Reading comprehension （每题 2 分，共 40 分） Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of unfavorable trade balance with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet still only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit (贸易逆差) is $15 billion Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods. One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in U.S. industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries. 21. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Some worldwide economic problems. B. The cause and consequences of trade deficit. C. Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries. D. High labor and material costs in developed countries. 22. According to the passage, a trade imbalance occurs when______________. A. a country is facing serious financial problems B. a country buys more from other countries than it sells overseas C. the value of a country’s exports is greater than that of its imports D. products imported are more expensive than those exported

A. do not pay their workers sufficiently B. are hurt by a trade imbalance C. imported labor and material from abroad D. are able to prevent a trade deficit Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week. For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety (多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success. One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry (卡车) going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business. At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books. 26. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen? A. His father made him leave. B. He had reached the age when he had to leave. C. He left because he was worried about the future. D. He left because he wanted to start work. 27. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school? A. He thought his son was doing the right thing. B.

D. he was young and strong. Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: A material which usually keeps animals and people warm is providing an oil clean-up service for the environment. Wool from sheep proved to be an effective "sponge" to soak up oil from the waters of the Persian Gulf after the Gulf War in 1991. The absorbent qualities of wool were used to good effect in wool poles which swept across the surface of the water and cleaned up the oil. Now the same absorbent qualities are being used by railways in the Netherlands. Wool mats produced by Rhanex Wools of New Zealand have been laid between the rails at eight major Dutch railway stations to soak up diesel oil dropping from locomotives. Dutch authorities were worried that diesel oil was seeping (渗入) through the ground into the water-table, which is used for farm irrigation and to supply drinking water. The mats can be regularly squeezed to extract the diesel oil from them, and then reused. Similar wool mats are being used in inner city car parking lots in Sydney, Australia, to soak up oil dropping from parked cars. One parking lot owner believed that the value of his land could be reduced by oil pollution. The environmental friendly qualities of wool are also being put to good use to protect wool itself. High value Merino sheep in Australia and Canada are wearing wool covers to protect their fleece (羊毛). 31. Which of the following is not one of wool's advantages? A) It has absorbent quality. B) It could be squeezed and reused. C) It can be used to avoid pollution. D) It could increase the price of land. 32. It can be inferred that wool first proved very useful in absorbing oil ______

C)To attract more drivers to park their cars D)To ask for a higher price when the lands are sold 35.Which function of wool is NOT mentioned in the passage A.Storing up oil B.Material for making clothes C.Absorbing oil. D.Protecting sheep themselves.

Material for making clothes. C. Absorbing oil. D. Protecting sheep themselves. Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Directory assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the worker when you can swipe (刷卡) your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM? Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing. 36 The writer's attitude towards advances in communications technology may be described as ________. A) critical B) unconcerned C) positive D) uninterested 37. If his mom has a question, he _________. A) will find ways to reach her B) will locate her e-mail address C) will try to get her a voice machine D) will leave her the answer through voice mail 38.
