Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (20 %)
Directions : In this part,there are four passages, each of which is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage1
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at the present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition,there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance for other peoples’ claims in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed
Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material,for example, in technology rather than in values ; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early ; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites ; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.

Passage2
Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities : research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?
In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain ivory towers (象牙塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled,to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.
A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers,engineers,managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man , as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.,’ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth,the society should also value and enjoy literature,music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much lo the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.
*
41. We can know from the first paragraph that the author()
A. believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the community
B. believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society
C.thinks some experts require too much of universities
D. thinks universities should do more than just research and teach
*
42. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that () .
A.society is not satisfied with the present college education
B.interference from the government is unwelcome
C.teachers are forcedto do what they don’t like to do
D.it’s a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use
*
43. The example of Aristotle indicates that()
A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates
B.universities should stop teaching philosophy
C.high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities
D.universities should put more stress on computer science
*
44. According to the passage t literature, music and the arts()
A. contribute directly to economic growth
B.are as necessary to man as medical and social services
C.are justified since they bring profits

*

A. economy should always be a nation’s first consideration
B.universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses theywill offer
C.successful musical plays are part of national economy
D.economic growth is not the only need of mankind
Passage 3
It’s time to stop complaining. The economy might be melting down like a pat of(一小块) butter on a hot Hummer(焊马)roof, but for some people—you, maybe? —this could be a very good thing.
Here ‘ s why at no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start a new kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let,s call these start-ups LILOs, for “a little in, a lot out”. These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.
How do you get started? All that ‘ s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need inthe 21century. These days you ‘ d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves themmoney. And launching now will make your company stronger later—you’ 11 learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.
That’s what John Tayman is doing. He’s a writer living in San Francisco, where I met him; he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edite
D.Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dreamed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. “ It ‘ll be like RottenTomatoes. com meets Kelley Blue Book,” he explained to me during lunch one day last June. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living. He ’ d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $ 10, 000. “Good luck with that!” I thought. Ideas are much easier to hatch than they are to execute.
Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop. A very organized fellow, he quickly discovered a lot of freebies(免费的东西)online—instructional manuals and sites aimed at bootstrappers (靠自我奋斗取得成功的人)一that walk you through the process from start to finish. The common wisdom would suggest that Tayman couldn ‘ t have picked a worse time to start a company that depends on automotive advertising. But he knew that going in (被理解).“I wanted to launch into (开始从事,投入)the dip so that by the time advertising improves,my site MotorMouths will be sitting pretty,” he says.

Passage 4
By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high groun
D.In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adderscannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is thebody-weight of the person bitten. The biggerthe person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be,which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.
Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.

53. We are told that British snakes are()
A. afraid of human beings
B.poisonous including the adder

D.friendly towards human beings
*
54. If an adder senses your approaching, it will probably ()
A. attack you immediately

some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been
