Part II Reading Comprehension
Section One (15 points, 1 point each)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening it with a pencil.
Passage 1
All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fit into our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it.
Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard (调车场). All of the switches we can see are set before the train arrives so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch. We can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.
When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track" many billions of years into the future, but beyond that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.
-
According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we
A. have too many conflicting theories

Passage 2
The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third new nation—the United States—based itself squarely on republican principles.
Yet even the political overhaul was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.
-
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The United States: An Isolated Community.
B. Breathtaking Events during the American Revolution.
C. Canada and the American War of Independence.
D. The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution.
-
In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and Russian revolutions?
A. They were explosive and abrupt.
B. They were ineffective.
C. They involved only those people living in urban areas.
D. They led to the release of political prisoners.
-
In lines 6-7, what does the author mean by "people went on working and praying, marrying and playing"?
A. More people got married than divorced.
B. The war created new jobs.
C. People had more than enough leisure time.
D. Life went on as usual.
-
It can be inferred from the passage that the loyalists who escaped to Canada were
A. Russian
B. French
C. British
D. Australian
-
What will the paragraph following the passage most probably discuss?
A. The transport of prisoners to Australia.
B. The creation of new state governments.
C. How the American Revolution evolved.
D. How Canada and the United States became friends.
Passage 3
Research that went into developing the highly specialized technology for space travel has resulted in many unexpected practical applications back on earth. Out of the engineering that produced rocket motors, space suits, and other necessities of space flight came by-products that no one had anticipated. Equipment and procedures designed for use in medicine, industry, and the home—these valuable by-products of space research, called spin-offs—have improved the quality of life on earth in many ways.
Some of the best-known examples of spin-offs from space research are found in hospitals and doctors' offices. One such example is the sight switch, which was originally developed to allow astronauts to control their spacecraft without using their hands. The sight switch is now used by handicapped people to operate devices using eye movements. Another spin-off is the voice command device, which was designed to enable astronauts to steer their spacecraft by voice command. This device is now being used to help deaf people learn to speak.
Doctors have also benefited from the technology required to make electronic instruments small enough and durable enough for trips into space. From this technology have come hearing aids the size of an aspirin and television cameras small enough to be attached to a surgeon's head to give medical students a close-up view of an operation.
One of the most valuable contributions of aerospace technology to industry is a management technique called the systems approach. With the aid of computers, this technique brings together all the elements of a complex project, including people, money, and materials, to ensure that everything is completed at the optimum time. It has been applied to a variety of situations unrelated to space exploration. Among them are cancer research, hospital design, city planning, crime detection, pollution control, building construction, and transportation.
The experience gained from developing NASA spacesuits was applied to the process of designing clothing for use in other professions. Firefighters now have lighter and special "fire-blocking" materials that are more resistant to burning. Spacers used for cushioning in moon boots were adapted for use in athletic shoes that are designed to reduce fatigue and injury.
-
The word "such" in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. spin-offs from space research
B. research in hospitals
C. research in doctors' offices
D. handicapped people
-
The author mentions hearing aids and television cameras as examples of
A. spin-offs from the technology required to make miniature durable instruments for space flight
B. important applications of space research in industry
C. inventions by aerospace scientists in England
D. ways to enhance the benefits of space exploration
-
The main topic of Paragraph 4 is
A. The importance of management techniques.
B. The complexity of hospital design.
C. Users of computers in industry.
D. Applications of the systems approach.
-
The word "optimum" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. most accurate
B. best
C. latest
D. fastest
-

A. devices that enable astronauts to control their spacecraft
B. the value of the systems approach
C. practical applications of space research
D. ways of monitoring patients
Section Two (10 points, 2 points each)
Directions: Read through the passage and then answer the questions. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 4
The picture of the family television set is finally beginning to change.
For more than 70 years, the big box, crammed with analog technology, has looked pretty much the same. The machine's clunky glass tube is so familiar to Americans that it has become synonymous with TV itself. But advances in technology over the past few years have finally caught up with the grand dame of home entertainment. In many new models, the tube is gone altogether. And that familiar color picture looks a lot sharper—like the view outside a living-room window on a clear blue day.
What's happened? First, a much larger percentage of TVs—some of them still with tubes—are built to show high-definition programming. When these programs are fed to viewers via a high-definition signal, HDTV-ready televisions can display them with 10 times the resolution of an analog set. Besides providing a clearer, crisper picture, other new TVs are lighter and slimmer. By transmitting TV signals through thin layers of plasma or liquid crystal, rather than a tube, manufacturers have trimmed the depth of TVs to as little as three inches. Buyers can hang a flat-panel TV from a wall instead of eating up living-room space.
High-definition and flat-panel digital TVs have been around for a few years. But better technology and aggressive efforts on the part of retailers to sell them have recently caught consumer attention.
More people than retailers had expected are buying new models, some of which integrate both advances. And while prices remain too high for many buyers, the growing popularity of the new TVs sends a clear message: After 2003, television will never look the same. About 2.4 million high-definition-ready TVs were sold last year—more than an 80 percent increase over the previous year. (Note: An "HDTV-ready" set still requires the addition of a special tuner, often costing about $350, to receive HDTV broadcasts. An "integrated" set has such a tuner built in.) Flat-panel purchases—some HDTV, some not—rose about 400 percent, to about 1.4 million units, according to the Consumer Electronics Association.
The reason for the stronger sales, say experts, is not that consumers are tired of their old sets, but that they are intrigued by the new technology. People recognize "that they can watch, at home, TV that has the same quality [as] what they watch in the theater," says Alan McCollough, president of Circuit City, the national electronics chain. HDTVs provide a cinema-quality picture. The sets show movies and TV programs with a resolution of as many as 1,080 lines per second, compared with 480 for standard sets. Flat-panel TVs that hang high on a wall are being used to replicate the feel of a theater. Experts say the models are particularly popular among women, who appear most likely to appreciate the sets' interior-design benefits. Both types of TVs usually come pretty large—between 30 and 60 inches, measured diagonally. And they are often capable of displaying the widescreen versions of movies, without cutting off the sides or requiring a "letter box" format, which shrinks the picture.
So given all this new technology, what is the perfect set to buy? The answer hinges on how much you are willing to spend.
The ultimate TV might combine a high-definition picture with a flat-panel, wide-screen frame. Several manufacturers offer these models. Sony's 32-inch set, for example, sells for $5,000. Pioneer's 43-inch model costs $8,000.
But the two technologies, high-definition and flat-panel, can also be bought separately. In fact, high-definition technology inside a regular tube or projection TV is less expensive than in a flat-panel set. Samsung and Phillips sell 27-inch HDTV-ready tube models for $800 and $900, respectively. RCA's 52-inch HDTV-ready projection monitor sells for $1,900.
Flat-panel TVs, conversely, are a bit better priced without high-definition technology. Gateway, better known for manufacturing computers, sells a 42-inch plasma screen for $3,000. Panasonic offers a 42-inch model for less than $5,000. TVs with a liquid crystal display (LCD) come in smaller sizes and cost as little as $1,000 for a 15-inch set.
Prices on most of these models are half of what they were a few years ago, and industry analysts expect them to drop at a similar rate over the next 18 months. "It's coming within the realm of affordability for mainstream consumers," says David Dritsas, editor of Dealerscope Magazine. Experts credit much of the price drop to decisions by mass-marketers to stock and heavily promote the new TVs, even before consumers showed interest in buying them.
Even as retailers believe these new TVs will drive most of their future sales, and are aggressively pushing them in stores, consumers have reasons to wait. Some experts believe plasma and LCD offer a poorer picture compared with even standard analog sets, and some models are susceptible to an image "burning" into the screen if the picture does not change for several hours. They are relatively untested as a day-to-day consumer product. "The biggest issue right now is we're not sure how long they'll last because no one has owned them for that long," says Ms. Jenson.
The broad availability of high-definition technology is also in question. By 2006, networks will be required to offer all programs in high HDTV format, and several have already begun to switch to high-definition for prime-time programs. But fewer than 10 percent of the 733 local television stations that broadcast high-definition programming are being carried on cable systems capable of delivering the format, according to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). Moreover, because two-thirds of all American households receive their local channels via cable, most viewers cannot access the high-definition versions of programs right now.
But that issue could be resolved in a year or so, say experts, as cable companies and TV manufacturers come closer to agreeing on a standard by which the function of a cable box—used to pull in channels—can be performed by a high-definition router. Right now, most consumers buy the tuner separately. Carrier issues aside, other observers are more concerned by the effect a revolution in TV technology might have on the dynamics of the American household.
When TV first reached the mass market in the 1940s, say experts, its placement in the front room of the house changed the way Americans thought about home life. "The front room used to be for guests," says Notre Dame University communications professor Christine Becker. "When the TV came along, it complicated the separation between the public and private."
Now, some experts hypothesize that widespread adoption of high-end TVs could prompt consumers to make entertainment that was once an entirely public experience, like movie-going, a home-based activity. "If you can get as good an image at home with home theater, cinema attendance may fall victim," says William Uricchio, a professor of comparative media studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
- Summarize the main idea of the passage in less than 20 words.
- Where is this passage most probably taken from?
- What are the two technologies mentioned in the passage?
- According to the passage, why is the broad availability of high-definition technology still in question?

If I were you, I would choose computer science rather than history as my major. You know, no matter how fascinating history is, its employment prospects are not very good. However, if you study computer science, you will have the opportunity to get well-paid jobs. Thinking about the future, you should choose computer science. At the same time, I suggest you keep reading history books in your spare time, which can broaden your knowledge.
I sincerely hope you can consider my suggestions and finally make a wise choice.

The Debate Over a Single International Official Language
The proposal of adopting a single international official language has sparked widespread debate. Some advocate for it to facilitate global communication, while others worry about the loss of national identity and culture. In my view, the benefits of a universal language outweigh the potential drawbacks, provided that cultural diversity is preserved.
A single international language can greatly enhance communication efficiency. In international politics, business, and academic exchanges, language barriers often lead to misunderstandings and inefficiencies. For example, international conferences and trade negotiations often require expensive translators, and even then, subtle meanings may be lost. With a common language, cooperation between countries can be smoother, and individuals can access global resources more easily, such as academic papers and job opportunities.
Critics argue that a universal language will erode national cultures. However, this concern can be addressed by emphasizing bilingual education. Countries can retain their native languages while promoting the international language for practical use. For instance, Singapore implements a bilingual policy, where English is used for official and business purposes, and native languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil) are preserved to maintain cultural roots. This model proves that a universal language and cultural diversity can coexist.
In conclusion, a single international official language is beneficial for global integration and cooperation. As long as we attach importance to protecting native languages and cultures, we can enjoy the convenience of a universal language without losing our cultural identities.
