You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. The three main types of secondary education in the United States have been
provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution It began in New England with the establish ment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum (iRtE) consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry. The academy began in the early 1750s with Benjamin Franklins school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteeth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900. The academy was open to girls as well as to boys and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827, the state enacted (fil fthe first state wide public high school law in the United States. By 1840, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850, they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation(推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的) and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since1890, enrollments(入学川 in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years 21. According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed? A)Latin grammar school, public high school, academy. B)Latin grammar school, academy, public high school C)Public high school, Latin grammar school, academy. D)Public high school, academy, Latin grammar school 22. It is the opinion of the author that the academy, compared with the publi high school, was A)obviously academically better B)more discriminatory in student selection D)not generally considered as a public institution 23. The year 1827 marks the A)enactment of the first state wide public high school law

In the eighteenth-century one of the first modern economists, Adam Smith, thought that the " whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country"provided revenue to three different orders of people: those who live by rent those who live by wages, and those who live by profit". Each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the social structure more complicated Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class. There were small-scale industrialists ll as large ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees skilled and unskilled workers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. Farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a persons social position. Intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their working-class parents. But they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the " new rich. They often sent their sons and daughters to special school to acquire soical training Here their children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often found marriage partners from among them. In the same way, a thrifty hardworking labourer, though not clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in

In the eighteenth—century one of the first modern economists,Adam Smith,thought that the “whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country” provided revenue to “three different orders of people:those who live by rent,those who live by wages,and those who live by profit”.Each successive stage of the industrial revolution,however,made the social structure more complicated. Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class.There were small—scale industrialists as we ll as large ones,small shopkeepers and tradesmen,officials and salaried employees,skilled and unskilled workers,and professional men such as doctors and teachers.Farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a person’s social position.Intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their working—class parents.But they lacked social training of the upper class,who despised them as the “new rich.” They often sent their sons and daughters to special school to acquire soical training.Here their children,mixed with the children of the upper classes,were accepted by them,and very often found marriage partners from among them.In the same way,a thrifty,hardworking labourer,though not clever himself,might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in
the hope that he would move in a "white collar"occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a move up in the social scale In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes the growth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook.

A)increased income and decreased taxation B)taxation,social services and educational opportunities C)education,the increase of income and industrial development D)the decrease of the upper class population Passage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Attitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage,or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom,with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome(令人厌烦的)，though sometimes amusing,while the Chinese panel members paid hardly any attention to such errors as,for example,misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages:“When I saw the job description,I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.”“I can deal the emergen cy situations efficiently.” Errors of idiom or appropriateness caused more comment,during the post
interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected replied I don't care about it. The message was clear enough, namely that he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers(笑话)as“ I am a well planned person."and" I would like to expose myself in another field"(both actually heard at interviews) tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than the chinese interviewers. Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common but are becoming less common The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not know what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in English questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother tongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a later stage turn to English, to test English proficiency In pra ibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few fairly standard opening questions in English, and if these are successfully answered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Canton One of the worst interview scenarios(j*)is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese(but does so, in fact, badly) decides to question the interviewee in Cantonese. in other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly embarrassed for the foreigner These forays(bsz iinto Chinese usually end pretty quickly with one of the Chinese members of the panel rescuing the foreigner and continuing the interview in English 1.The word adversely"in the last sentence of the third paragraph is closest A)positively B)negatively C)hard)slightly 32.Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs, A)both Chinese and the native speakers of English find them amusing B)the Chinese interviewers tend to be tolerant C)the Chinese interviewers and the English native speaker interviewers often have a discussion〖ZK)〗 D)might sometimes become a laughing stock to the native speakers of English but draw hardly any attention from the chinese 33. It is implied in the passage that A)Chinese are generally liable to make mistakes in English grammar and vocabular y usage B)expatriate interviewers are generally more friendly with interviews C)braver candidates can often get the upper hand

A)positivelyB)negativelyC)hardD)slightly 32.Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs,____.

The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted Then it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise The freedom to make such personal decisions is fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Grapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give onself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving

C)The best procedure of an interview would seem to be beginning in Cantonese and then testing English proficiency.
