Part Two: Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Passage one
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a
range of illnesses ,from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by other despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instructive support----financial aid, material resources, and needed services----that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
21.Interpersonal relationships are important because________
A. they are indispensable to people’s social well-being
B. they waken people’s desire to exchange resources
C. they help people to cope with life in the information age
D. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.
22.Research shows that people’s physical and mental health________
A. relies on the social welfare system which support them
B. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
C. has much to so with the amount of support they get from others
D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based the following passage:
In the passed two years ,millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle as if it were a starting new invention. Annual bike dales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That’s more than two for every three automobiles.
Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years , and this isn’t America’s first bicycle boom. A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bike production hit two million unites in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto ,bicycling declined ,and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adult faddists(追随时尚的人).
Now, national preoccupation(重视)with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront -----particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent of
new bike sales were for adults.
26. It can be concluded that if people continue to concern themselves with air pollution and physical fitness________
A. stricter air standards will be enforced
B. fewer automobiles will be sold
C. Americans will enjoy better health
D. bicycle sales will continue to rise

C. concerned with the quality of their lives
D. childish in the way they relax and exercises
29.It can be inferred that in America there are ______

C. as many bicycles as automobiles
D. fewer automobiles than bicycles
30.What is the author’s attitude to this phenomenon?
A. Negative
B. Positive
C. Neutral
D. Compromising
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent strips, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down..
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year,the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest-----curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight , horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they are but also make a lane speed to be narrower. The result is a longer reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
31. The passage mainly discusses______
A. a new way of highway speed control
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers
E. a new type of optical illusion
32. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that_______
A. they should avoid speed-related hazards

33. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former________
A. can keep drivers awake
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will look more attractive
D. will have a longer effect on drivers
34.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______
A. change the road signs across the country
B. try out the Japanese method in certain areas
C. replace the straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat the Japanese road patterns
35.What does the author day about straight ,horizontal bars painted across roads?
A. They are falling out of use in the United States
B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time
C. They are applicable only on broad roads
D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.
The pattern of crime has varied little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m and 6 a.m..
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m on a Saturday night in December ,January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May -----except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.
Possibly, soaring thermometers and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying actions, but police officials are not surer. “ There is ,of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say, “Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don’t know.”
36.The passage is about_______
A. police records
B. crime patterns
C. the links between seasonal changes and the crime patterns
D. the summer high in crimes

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's.

The first slide read simply this: ―Education = $‖. I felt uncomfortable, not knowing exactly why. 2 Education, throughout my high school experience, continued to be described to me like this: college means a diploma. A diploma means a better job. A better job means more money. More money means a good life. But I wondered who had decided the criteria for a ―better‖ job and a ―good‖ life. It all seemed so mathematical. Education was presented to me as an equation equaling a person I had not chosen to be. 重点单词的句子翻译： 1.她读了一首题为《想起你》的诗。(entitle) 2.他给这本书取名为《野性的爱》。(entitle) 3.教育的关键在于激励和享受，而不是一所学校或一个大学文凭。(diploma) 4.那青年用了3 年的时间取得研究生文凭。(diploma) 5.我自己成功的标准是能够努力工作和快乐生活。(criteria) 3 I went on to college, of course, as everyone told me to do. College is how you become an earner, they told me. My major that first semester was International Relations. I liked the woman I envisioned myself as in this field – a diplomat, a savvy citizen of the world. But gradually I began to realize that this person was not someone I bore any resemblance to.

But she was not someone I would become. She had nothing I really wanted.

Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.

A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750.000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year.
