Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Professor Kumar Bhatt, founder and head of Warwick Manufacturing Group(WMG), and Rob Meakin, a personnel director at Marconi, have developed a partnership to train engineers and managers to BEComee-literate. The New Knowledge Partnership will include a team of 40 Marconi managers in what Professor Bhatt calls electronic engineering management or E2. A wide range of engineering andnon-engineering companies has expressed interest in these excitingprograms.Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changing the business environment to a huge extent. Many chief executives do not understand the power of the new technologies and, in some cases, are actually resisting change. He says that “As long as enoug h industry leaders realize its potential benefits, e-business will makepossible a second productivity revolution in Britain. This couldtake the economy close to eliminating the still substantial competitiveness gap with its main rivals. Over the last five yearsin the US there has been a 30% improvement in manufacturing sector productivity because of information technology. In Britain we can achieve more than that and successful e-business will be worthbillions to the UK economy.”Already Britain makes more use ofcomputer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) and management information technology systems than other European countries, and has a government that actively promotes e-business. But, observes Professor Bhatt, Britain has never used technology as a growth driver. “The thing about electronic engineering management is that you can keep your legacy systems; you just need to link those systems with an information engine. At the touch of a button it will allow project managers to see the status of a project, identify problems precisely and make virtually immediate decisions based oninformation that will be much more complete than in the past.”The E2 program is the result of an alliance by the Warwick Manufacturing Group with America‟s leading e-commerce study center, Carnegie Mellon. The latter will be responsible for training many of the Marconi managers in America, where the group has half its business. In Britain, Professor Bhatt has linked up with SunMicrosystems, Oracle and Parametric Technology, to set up amulti-million pound E2 design and manufacturing center at theuniversity which will be used for training and research.Professor Bhatt believes that e-commerce is changing business tosuch an extent that WMG is likely to be renamed Warwick Electronic Manufacturing Group. But, he warns “The move to globalize because of e-commerce is racing ahead. Although the net allows British industryto overtake their European peers, it also offers Asian countries to leapfrog(相互超越) the West. For the first time it is not the privilegeof the western world because this technology is universal.”21.Professor Bhatt and Rob Meakin have developed a method to___.A) teach electronic engineering managementB) train employees to be acquainted with e-commerceC) train employees to be engineers and managersD) teach employees about developing a partnership22.How does Professor Bhatt feel about many leaders in companies?A) They do not understand a possible second productivity revolutionin Britain.B) They are excited about change.C) They are ready for e-business.D) They sometimes are against the change resulted from newtechnologies.23.According to the passage, what do you know about e-business inBritain?A)E-business has eliminated many competitive rivals.B)E-business has done many benefits to big companies.C)Many companies have joined in the E2 business program.D) E-business has great potential and will make changes in thecountry.24.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A) Britain can be competitive to US in the area of informationtechnology.B) Britain has already taken the advantages of running engineeringmanagement.C) As with many other European countries, Britain has made use ofcomputer-aided systems.D) E-commerce has offered opportunities to European countries toeliminate the competitiveness gap with all the rivals.25.WMG would like to change its name because ___.A)Britain is going to catch up with all other European countries inthe field of electronic engineering managementB)business has been influenced so much by e-commerceC)the e-commerce has offered Asian countries the chance to overtakeBritain and the rest of EuropeD)e-business is very popular and will become universalPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Emotional maturity means knowing that another person cannot fill up the hole in your heart. That is your responsibility. You need tolove and affirm yourself day-by-day, moment-by-moment. That is the spiritual challenge of your life and everybody‟s life. Without your love for yourself, nothing works. No amount of love from your partner is enough. The search for love from other people is like the alcoholic‟s search fo r happiness in a bottle. The more he drinks,the less satisfied he feels and the more he wants to drink.We are all addicted to falling in love. But after we‟ve “fallen” afew times and broken our emotional bones, we hopefully wise up a bit. We know that the high of falling in love is not going to last.We know that sooner or later we will have to get real with eachother. That is the difference between romance and partnership. Romance is an attempt to keep the addiction going. It has a very short half-life. Partnership is the dance of two ordinary people learning to live together day by day. It is a very challengingschool that we enroll in. It is sometimes a lot more work than play. And it certainly requires a lot more psychological adjustment than years of therapy! We don‟t just graduate from this school in a year or two. It takes many years, perhaps even a lifetime, for us tomaster the curriculum.Your partners are imperfect human beings, just like you. They were not the “wrong” partners any more than you were. Probably, they reflected your own level of realism and emotional maturity. That‟s usually the way it works. So don‟t waste your time thinking you simply made some bad choices. The only bad choice you made was forgetting who has the full time job loving you. I know that youknow who this is !We keep remembering that they are not perfect, nor we are. Love is not a game of perfection. It is a game of overwhelming imperfection. The amazing thing is that love survives all of our mistaken attemptsto control our partners and our relationships.26.We can conclude from the passage that___.A) we won’t forget who has the full time loving usB) love is addictiveC) love from your partner is not enoughD) love lies in the maturity of emotion which is essential to apartnership or relationship27.Which of the following statements is true according to thepassage?A) To seek for true love, one must be realistic.B) As long as we are emotionally mature, we can always enjoy thehigh of falling in love.C) Love doesn‟t die even if we make wrong attempts to control ourpartners.D) The more one is loved, the less satisfied he or she feels.28.It can be inferred from the passage that___.A) the more we try to control our partners and relationships, thebetter we can enjoy loveB) the more frequently we fall in love, the more inte lligent we‟llbeC) the more emotionally mature a couple are, the more harmoniousthey will liveD) it’s unrealistic for you to search for true love from others29.By saying “They were not the …wrong‟ partners any more than you were.”(Para 3), the author means ___.A) you chose the wrong partner just as your partner didB) your partner was not as good as you wereC) you were good partners to each otherD) neither of you is a good partner30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) Some people regret their choices of love partners.B) In some partnership or relationship, he or she tries to controlthe other.C) Through psychological adjustment and therapy, one will feelsatisfied with love.D) Partnership is a school from which it is not easy for us to graduate.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:What is terrorism?In a growing number of conflicts around the world, one or both sidesattempt to label the other as “terrorist” in an ef fort to winsupport for their own causes. Yet as the so-called “terroristsgroup” often proclaim, a clear distinction between a terroristaction and a non-terrorist military operation is frequentlydifficult to establish. Most governments argue that terrorism isdefined by violent methods to achieve political ends which areundertaken by organizations not recognized by the world community as legitimate representatives of a nation; furthermore, random acts of violence, like attacks on school buses or shopping centers, arelabeled as “terrorist”. Political organization as the IRA(IrishRepublican Army) and the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization)have been dubbed（称为）“terrorists”, by the governments of England and Israel because of their tactics and their non-official statuses as representatives of accurately defined nations. In the case of thePLO, however, its election to power under Yasser Arafat has nowconfused its former recognition as terrorist. Even the IRA isearning status as an authentic opposition voice to the continuedpresence of British troops on Irish soil.All this simply highlights the problems of separating what is alegitimate political organization with “the right” to employviolence to achieve political ends from so-called terrorist groups. Inseparable from this issue is historical precedence(地位先后) and the degree of power and prestige an organization or nation has on theworld stage. For example, while most independent observes wouldagree that the IRA setting off a bomb in a London subway stationconfirms its notoriety, they would be less certa in that Israel‟srecent bombing of a refugee camp is equally “terrorist”, despite thefact that many more innocent people were killed and injured in thelatter incident than in the former. This raises the question, thoughcertainly not for the first time, whether legitimate, evendemocratically elected, governments are also capable of terroristaction. Is there always a clear moral distinction between thebehavior of normally respected nations and that of “rogue”(流氓) organizations? What does seem clear from these reflections is notthat terrorist actions are in any way justified, but that the use ofsuch labels is sometimes based on a political need rather than onsuperior moral or ethical grounds.31.What is the point the article tries to make?A) Non-official status of a political organization involvesterrorist suspicion.B) Terrorism defies clear-cut distinction.C) Terrorist element exists in every violent conflict.D) Government actions are never guilty of terrorism.32.Which of the following could be concluded from the article?A)An indisputable example of a terrorist group is PLO.B)Actions to achieve political ends cannot avoid using force.C)An acceptable criterion for terrorism is killing civilians.D)International prestige is a justification for violence.33.The classification of PLO is now less clear because___.A) it begins to show friendly attitude towards IsraelB) it stands for an independent state in the Middle EastC) it is no longer engaged in random performance of violenceD) it is the elected political representative of the Palestine34.It could be logically inferred from the article that____.A) terrorism is not being defined on ethical criteriaB) defense actions committed on a foreign land is admissibleC) terrorism unavoidably involves immoral policiesD) democratic nations are innocent of terrorism35.The author wrote this article to ___.A) show sympathy to unrecognized national forcesB) condemn political motives in defining terrorismC) justify the ambiguity in giving terrorism labelsD) call for better approaches to terrorismPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It is curious how much one despises and condemns the vices which one does not happen to possess. I am indeed not a severe man, nor would I permit myself to become intolerant of those failings which I share with others. But, having no particular temptation to be untruthful,I find myself believing that when one comes to think of it, truth isthe major virtue and lying the most blameworthy of all the vices.Ishould like, therefore, to get my mind a little clearer on the truth question. I flatter myself, as I have said, that I am a truthfulman: a man who, when he tells a lie, is careful not to forget thathe has done so, and who takes infinite precautions to prevent his being found out. This, in the end, is the only test by which you can distinguish the liar from the man of truth. The latter which is bothered by untruthfulness, is worried and anxious. The real liar, however, is merely amused: he does n‟t mind in the least even if heis subsequently exposed: he regards the truthful man as somewhat ofa fool.But this surely is one of the many false statements with which thereal liar will try hard to idealize his failing. It may be inevitabeand even just to tell lies, but it cannot seriously be argued thatsuch habits are intelligent. A lie is always an act of mental cowardice, whereas intelligence is brave. And yet there was Bismarck, and yet there was Napoleon-surely intelligent man, andsurely liars. The problem, therefore, is not so simple as it seems.It was simple enough, in those old days, to define with approximate accuracy when a given statement ceased to be the truth and became a lie. The essential test was whether the maker of a false statement knew that he was saying something false, and consciously wished his audience to accept, and to remain under, this false impression. Lifein civilized communities is a process of adjusting the personal tothe social, of conforming the individual impression to the joint impressions of the common people. This process of adjustment leads inevitably and rightly to a certain unconscious deception. Absolute truth, whether unconscious or even conscious, is thus impossible. Itis to relative truth only that we can hope to aspire.36.The author suggests that it is usual that___.A) a person shows strong disapproval of the vices an individualdoesn’t haveB) everyone feels contempt for the vices that most people haveC) most people are unlikely to condemn the vices they possessD) the vices one doesn’t possess are worthy of severe condemnation37.The author claims that___.A) he wouldn’t tolerate the vices that people have in commonB) he doesn’t feel particular contempt for being untruthfulC) one may be tempted to untruthfulness when one comes to think ofitD) untruthfulness is a serious fault of character which he condemnsstrongly38.The essential distinction between a truthful person and a liarlies in the fact that ___.A) the former feels uneasy about the untruths he happens to tellB) the latter takes great care to hinder his untruths from beingexposedC) the former is willing to confess his untruthfulness when he tellsa lieD) the latter is only amazed if his untruths area disclosed39.It is true，according to the text，real liars will___.A) try hard to perfect their vices with false statementsB) believe it unavoidable and reasonable for everyone to tell liesC) argue that their habits of telling lies are intelligent ratherthan foolishD) are misunderstood as being either cowardly or brave individuals40.In the author’s opinion,___.A) bismarck and Napoleon were intelligent men of truthB) in modern society, nobody can escape the risk of making a falsestatement, intentionally or unintentionallyC) untruthful man is worried about being found outD) our civilized life makes conscious lies impossiblePart ⅢV ocabulary (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
