Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage 1 Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us. However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提)are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness. 26. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people ____. A) easily accept certain things without a second thought B) grow up through learning certain things in life C) are forming their views during their growth D) have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old 27. Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to ____. A) criticize others B) share professors’ beliefs C) give their own ideas D) change their own beliefs 28. The word “shaky” (Line l, Para.3) most probably means“____”. A) creative B) firm C) false D) weak 29. To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them ____. A) choice of their premises B) the way to think independently C) skills of drawing conclusions D) different kinds of argument 30. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to ____. A) argue mainly for the sake of arguing
B)prove it with a good conclusion C)support your idea with sound D)xamine others'ideas ritically Passage 2 "No man is an island,"wrote the poet John Donne several centuries ago.He was acknowledging one of ou most distinctive characteristics the fact that we are soia animals h bh Throughout life,most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others Whether our purpose is working,playing,raising a family,learning or simply relaxing we usually pursue it in groups,even if the group is as small as two or three people.Out need for human contacts is not merely a practical one:it is a deep psychological need as well.If people are deprived of the nvention(日内瓦公约),an intemational that regulates the of war,recognizes this need.It regards solitary()imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form of torture. In its strictest sense.a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared of this inte action members feel a membe from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders 3l.By“No man is an island.”John Donne means A)no one can live on an island alone B)aman is not surrounded by sea on all sides C)aman and D)no one can live in isolation from other people 32.The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that A)people are different from animals B)Donne recognized the group to which he belonged C)human being s are social an als D)human behavior and formed by ohers 33."Breakdown"as used in Line 6,Paragraph 2 most probably denotes A)separation B)collapse C)analysis D)function 34.According to the passage.what is NOT a characteristic of group?

B) prove it with a good conclusion C) support your idea with sound reasoning D) examine others’ ideas critically Passage 2 “No man is an island,” wrote the poet John Donne several centuries ago. He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics: the fact that we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong. Throughout life, most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working, playing, raising a family, learning, or simply relaxing, we usually pursue it in groups, even if the group is as small as two or three people. Out need for human contacts is not merely a practical one; it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods, mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention(日内瓦公约),an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war, recognizes this need. It regards solitary(孤独的) imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form of torture. In its strictest sense, a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expectations about one another's behavior. As result of this interaction, members feel a common sense of “belonging.” They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders. 31. By “No man is an island,” John Donne means _____. A) no one can live on an island alone B) a man is not surrounded by sea on all sides C) a man and an island are irrelevant D) no one can live in isolation from other people 32. The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that ____. A) people are different from animals B) Donne recognized the group to which he belonged C) human beings are social animals D) human behavior and personalities are formed by others 33.“Breakdown” as used in Line 6, Paragraph 2 most probably denotes ____. A) separation B) collapse C) analysis D) function 34. According to the passage, what is NOT a characteristic of group? A) There are at least two people in it. B) The members share some common grounds. C) The members work for one purpose. D) The members interact regularly with each other. 35. This passage is mainly about _______. A) the importance of human contacts B) patterns of human behavior C) the importance of human activities D) patterns of human society Passage 3

A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age. 36. In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____. A) personal experience B) wild weeds among good plants C) the information from the parents D) the vast store of traditional practices 37. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A) The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass B) Craftsman s experience is usually unscientific C) The contemptuous college students will receive nothing from craftsmen D) Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student 38. From this passage we can infer that ______. A) we will invite the craftsman to teach in the college B) schools and books are not the only way to knowledge C) scientific discoveries late based on personal experience D) discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student 39. The author advises the college student to ______ . A) be contemptuous to the craftsman B) be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms C) learn the craftsman s experience by judging it carefully D) gain the craftsman s experience without rejection 40. The main idea of this passage is about ________. A) what to learn from the parents B) how to gain knowledge C) why to learn from craftsman D) how to deal with experience Passage 4 Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought. Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to lock at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors, I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding
these values can help you.the international visitor,understand Americans. It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans,they will then be able tounderstand% American action which might otherwise appear"strange,""confusing."or"unbelievable"when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic values of that particular group.When atement in the Un the tes which surprises you,try to see it as an expression of one or moreo 41.Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system?

these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans. It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —actions which might otherwise appear “strange,” “confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter and action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet. 41. Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system? A) Yes, because this is something an American lives by. B) No, because everyone will have his/her own system.

A) Americans are hard to understand B) Americans have values which are entirely different from their own C) they view Americans according to the values in their own society D) it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them 45. How can you understand a surprising behavior or statement of an American when you visit the United States? A) By linking it to the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of the Americans.
