Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the best answer to each question based on the passage.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The good news we get from TV and radio makes us feel more kindly toward other people, but bad news especially news of cruelty and violence stirs up suspicion and a sense of competition toward others. These are the findings of 10 years of experiments by research psychologists (心理学家) at Columbia University, who conclude that broadcasters encourage hostile (敌对的) behavior by stressing bad news. We found that the news people are exposed to either encourages them to concentrate on the differences between themselves and others, or on the common problems that make them feel, Were all in this together, explained Dr. Harvey Hornstein. News about one human being helping another brings out feelings of trust and cooperation. But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse. In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned. That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot, he recalled. Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger. But good news on the other hand, lifts us up, he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, Americas Bicentennial celebration. On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together. Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition. After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high up to 28 percent, from 9 percent. If we watch television and see a lot of blood, said Dr. Hornstein, “were probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And well deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim picture of humanity. After the good news, its the reverse.31. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel _.A.happierB.safer than they really areC.more kindly toward othersD.more competitive32. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually doing harm to another, they tend to _.A.regard other people as worse than they really areB.treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimesC.become hostile towards neighbors and friendsD.think about the common problems facing mankind33. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4, 1968?A.Robert F. Kennedy was shot.B.Their wallets were lost.C.People in America suddenly became dishonest.D.Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.34. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably _.A.lost wallets were returned to their owners B.people drank and sang and dancedC.everybody wanted to be AmericanD.even criminals were friendly to others35. We can conclude from the passage that _.A.violence on TV leads to more violence on the streetsB.the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to beC.broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad news D.people are more competitive when they are faced with challengesPassage Two Questions 36- 40 are based on the following passage: The Shuttle Bus Service provides a much needed service to airport customers.

Passage ThreeQuestion 41-46 are based on the following passage: No species more clearly represents Americas changing view of wildlife than the gray wolf. From the first arrivals of settlers in the 1600s until only the last couple of decades, wolves were generally viewed as a dangerous threat in this country. Evidence of this is found in the laws passed in both the colonies and later the states, which provided for a cash payment for each wolf skin turned over to local officials. Not only were such laws a means of obtaining much needed money, but it also encouraged the use of the wolfs fur as clothing. This double benefit to the hunters succeeded in effectively wiping out the wolf population in most regions of the country. By 1950, wolves had been done away with everywhere in the lower 48 states except in the wildest part of northern Minnesota. This was the result of efforts to kill all wolves.Most people now recognize the mistake of this persecution and understand the value of such vicious animals as the wolf within the wildlife community. The National Wildlife Federation has led the fight to get the government to pass a law protecting the wolf, in order to increase the population of the animal steadily. As a result, Congress has passed a law including this animal under the Endangered Species Act. Between 150 and 200 wolves are now wandering freely in Yellowstone National Park and the NWF is now working with both public and private organizations to make sure that wolves will be able to live in suitable habitats elsewhere in the country.41According to the passage, most American wolves lived in 1950 _A. in the lower 48 statesB. in northern MinnesotaC. everywhere except MinnesotaD. Yellowstone National Park42In the second paragraph, “the mistake of this persecution” refers to _.A. Americas changing view of wildlifeB. early settlers occupying of landC.

New World Funds B. New Woman Foundation C. National Wildlife Federation D. National Wolf Federation Passage FourQuestions 46 -50 are based on the following passage: Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh ilk, was very limited there ws no way to prevent food from going bad. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand, By 1880, however, inventors had built machines that made it possible to produce cans from tinplates in large numbers Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing city populations created a demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigeration cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890s, people living in northern cities could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator takes its place in the 1920s and 1930s.46This passage mainly discusses _.A. causes of food going badB. commercial production of iceC. inventions that led to changes in the American dietsD. population movements in the nineteenth century47According to the author, in the 1920s and 1930s home deliveries of ice _.A. decreased in numberB. were on an irregular scheduleC. increased in costD. occurred only in the summer48All the following preservations are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _.A. dryingB. canningC. cold storageD. using chemicals49The word “fixture” in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. equipmentB. foodC. growerD. delivery50The word “perishables” in the 2nd paragraph means that _. A. food that is likely to decay B. food that is easy to store C. food that is not easy to store D. food that is unlikely to decay Part II Translation1.
