Part II Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries, which involve more and more complex chemical processes, will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals that are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This
will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals,from this,it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled.The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard This involves the processing of solid wastes"prior to"disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes,or effluents,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal. A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes.Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrientor organic supple nent.

will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals, from this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to " disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal. A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products. 21.The purpose of this passage is ______. a. to alert the reader to the dwindling water supply b. to explain industrial uses of water c. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems d. to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem 22.Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage? a. Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes. b. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water c. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population d. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals 23.The reader can conclude that________. a. countries of the world will work together on pollution problems b. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace c. science is making great progress on increasing water supplies d. some industries are now asking economic use of wastes 24.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of _______. a. interviews with authorities in the field of water controls b. opinions and personal observations c. definitions which clarify important terms d. strong arguments and persuasions 25.The words "prior to "(para.2) probably mean______. a. after b. during c. before d. beyond Passage 2 The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers. Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law, medicine, business, etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines, the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly. Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and

Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education, find the attraction of industry irresistible. 26.The U.S. will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ________. a. the number of PH.D. degree holders is declining b. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing c. the number of 22-year-olds is declining d. scientists and engineers are not employed 27.The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from ________ . a. technology b. foreign nationals c. such fields as law, medicine and business d. postgraduates 28.Large-scale enterprises now need _______. a. bright graduates and postgraduates b. new inventions c. advanced technology d. engineers 29.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _________. a. they are not encouraged to be engaged in science b. industry does not require PH.D. holders c. they have financial difficulties d. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D. 30.PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that _________. a. they find industry is attracting more and more college students b. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry c. they cannot resist any attraction from all sides d. they cannot work for industry any longer Passage 3 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red ? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, and an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up----we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colors do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active.It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 31."You would rather follow than lead"means a you don't like to follow others b.you would be a member rather than a leader c.you would be afraid of following others d.you would like to be aleader rather than a follower 32.If one enjoys life,one is sure to prefer a.red to yellow b.blue to orange er facts,that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. means b.inregard to other facts 34.Whichof er fac d.according toother fac Pe r to another is inc h P as the use they saw som y grow up M ething brown when they were d Colors have little influence on our moods 35 Those who mitted suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of a.its shape b.its structure c.its color d.its building materials Passage4 As the pace of life continues to increase.we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 31.“You would rather follow than lead” means______. a. you don't like to follow others b. you would be a member rather than a leader c. you would be afraid of following others d. you would like to be a leader rather than a follower 32.If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________. a. red to yellow b. blue to orange c. red to gray d. blue to yellow 33.“They tell us, among other facts, that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up.” “Among other facts” means______. a. besides other facts b. in regard to other facts c. not considering other facts d. according to other facts 34.Which of the following is a fact? a. People's preference of one color to another is instinct b. People's preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up. c. More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born d. Colors have little influence on our moods 35.Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of _______. a. its shape b. its structure c. its color d. its building materials Passage 4 As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 36.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a. they do not know how to enjoy themselves b. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
c.they are traveling fast all the tim d.they are becoming busier with their work 37.According to the writer.the most important character for a good manager is his a not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 38.Which of the following statements is true? a We can find some ways to avoid stress c.It iseasy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work d.Different people can withstand different amounts of stress 39.In Paragraph3,"such a reaction"refers back to a"making achoice betweenflightor'fight b."reaction to stress both chemically and physically c."responding to crises quickly" d."losing beart at the signs difficulties" eposourvstor b."find ways to deal with stress c."remove stress from our lives d."established links between dis and stress" Part Cloze Direction:There are 19 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choice marked A).B).C)and D)on the right side of the paper.You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

Newspapers have one basic 44, to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 45 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 46 inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication. 47, this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 48 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 49 and read than ever before.
