Section III Reading comprehension (40 points)
Directions:
Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage
by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Passage One
Working at nonstandard times-----evenings, nights, or weekends----is taking
its toll on American families. One-fifth of all employed Americans work variable
or rotating shifts, and one-third work weekends, according to Harriet B.
Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress
on familial relationships, which is likely to continue in coming decades.
The consequences of working irregular hours vary according to gender,
economic level, and whether or not children are involved. Single mothers are
more likely to work nights and weekends than married mothers. Women in clerical,
sales, or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late
and graveyard shifts.
Married-couple households with children are increasingly becoming
dual-earner households, generating more split-shift couples. School-aged
children, however, may benefit from parents’ nonstandard work schedules because
of the greater likelihood that a parent will be home before or after school. On
the other hand, a correlation exists between nonstandard work schedules and both
marital instability and a decline in the quality of marriages.
Nonstandard working hours mean families spend less time together for diner
but more time together for breakfast. One-on-one interaction between parents and
children varies, however, based on parent, shift, and age of children. There is
also a greater reliance on child care by relatives and by professional
providers.
Working nonstandard hours is less a choice of employees and more a mandate
of employer. Presser believes that the need for swing shifts and weekend work
will continue to rise in the coming decades. She reports that in some European
countries there are substantial salary premiums for employees working irregular
hours-sometimes as much as 50% higher. The convenience of having services
available 24 hours a day continues to drive this trend.
Unfortunately, says Presser, the issue is virtually absent from public
discourse. She emphasizes the need for focused studies on costs and benefits of
working odd hours, the physical and emotional health of people working nights
and weekends, and the reasons behind the necessity for working these hours.
“Nonstandard work schedules not only are highly prevalent among American
families but also generate a level of complexity in family functioning that
needs greater attention,” she says.
36.Which of the following demonstrates that working at nonstandard times is
taking its toll on American families?
A.Stress on familial relationships.
B.Rotating shifts.
C.Evenings，nights，or weekends.
D.Its consequences.
37.Which of the following is affected most by working irregular hours?
A.Children.
B.Marriage.
C.Single mothers.
D.Working women.
38.Who would be in favor of the practice of working nonstandard hours?
A.Children.
B.Parents.
C.Employees
D.Professional child providers.
39.It is implied that the consequences of nonstandard work schedules are
.
A.emphasized
B.absent
C.neglected
D.prevalent
40.What is the author’s attitude towards working irregular hours?
A.Positive.
B.Negative.
C.Indifferent.
D.Objective.
Passage Two
Most human beings actual1y decide before they think. When any human
being----executive, specialized expert, or person in the street----encounters a
complex issue and forms an opinion, often within a matter of seconds, how
thoroughly has he or she explored the implications of the various courses of
action? Answer: not very thoroughly. Very few people, no matter how inte1ligent
or experienced, can take inventory of the many branching possibilities, possible
outcomes, side effects, and undesired consequences of a policy or a course of
action in a matter of seconds. Yet, those who pride themse1ves on being decisive
often try to do just that. And once their brains lock onto an opinion, most of
their thinking thereafter consists of finding support for it.
A very serious side effect of argumentative decision making can be a lack
of support for the chosen course of action on the pat of the “losing” faction.
When one faction wins the meeting and the others see themselves as losing, the
battle often doesn’t end when the meeting ends. Anger, resentment, and jealousy
may lead them to sabotage the 4ecision later, or to reopen the debate at later
meetings.
There is a better. As philosopher Aldous Huxley said, “It isn’t who is
right, but what is right, that counts.”
The structured-inquiry method offers a better alternative to argumentative
decision making by debate. With the help of the Internet and wireless computer
technology the gap between experts and executives is now being dramatically
closed. By actually putting the brakes on the thinking process, slowing it down,
and organizing the flow of logic, it’s possible to create a level of clarity
that sheer argumentation can never match.
The structured-inquiry process introduces a level of conceptual clarity by
organizing the contributions of the experts, then brings the experts and the
decision makers closer together. Although it isn’t possible or necessary for a
president or prime minister to listen in on every intelligence analysis meeting,
it’s possible to organize the experts’ information to give the decision maker
much greater insight as to its meaning. This process may somewhat resemble a
marketing focus group; it’s a simple, remarkably clever way to bring decision
makers closer to the source of the expert information and opinions on which they
must base their decisions.
4l.From the first paragraph we can learn that .
A.executive, specialized expert, are no more clever than person in the
street
B.very few people dec1de before they think
C.those who pride themselves on being decisive often fail to do so
D.people tend to consider carefully before making decisions
42.Judging from the context, what does the word “them” (line 4, paragraph
2) refer to?
A.Decision makers.
B.The “losing” faction.
C.Anger, resentment, and jealousy.
D.Other people.
43.Aldous Huxley’s remark (Paragraph 3) implies that .
A.there is a subtle difference between right and wrong
B.we cannot tell who is right and what is wrong
C.what is right is more important than who is right
D.what is right accounts for the question who is right
44.According to the author, the function of the structured-inquiry method
is .
A.to make decision by debate
B.to apply the Internet and wireless computer technology.
C.to brake on the thinking process, slowing it down
D.to create a level of conceptual clarity
45.The structured-inquiry process can be useful for .
A.decision makers
B.intelligence analysis meeting
C.the experts’ information
D.marketing focus groups
Passage Three
Sport is heading for an indissoluble marriage with television and the
passive spectator will enjoy a private paradise. All of this will be in the
future of sport. The spectator (the television audience) will be the priority
and professional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the
new reality: sport as a business.
The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait
for broadcasts by the conventional channels. They will be the ones who decide
what to see. And they will have to pay for it. In the United States the system
of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered
by television and the spectator will only have to choose. The review Sports
Illustrated recently published a full profile of the life of the supporter at
home in the middle of the next century. It explained that the consumers would be
able to select their view of the match on a gigantic, flat screen occupying the
whole of one wall, with images of a clarity which cannot be foreseen at present;
they could watch from the trainer’s stands just behind the batter in a game of
baseball or from the helmet of the star player in an American football game. And
at their disposal will be the sane option s the producer of the recorded
programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on
the sound whether to hear the public, the players, the trainer and so on.
Many sports executives, largely too old and too conservative to feel at
home with the new technologies will believe that sport must control the
expansion of television coverage in order to survive and ensure that spectators
attend matches. They do not even accept the evidence which contradicts their
view while there is more basketball than ever on television, for example, it is
also certain that basketball is more popular than ever.
It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming
the modest teams. This is true, but the future of those team is also modest.
They have reached their ceiling . It is the law of the market. The great events
continually attract larger audience.
The world I being constructed on new technologies so that people can make
the utmost use of their time and , in their home have access to the greatest
possible range of recreational activities. Sport will have to adapt itself to
the new world.
The most visionary executives go further. That philosophy is: rather than
see television take over sport why not have sports taken over television?
46.What does the writer mean by use of the phrase “an indissoluble
marriage” in the first paragraph?
A.sport is combined with television.
B.sport controls television.
C.television dictates sports.
D.Sport and television will go their own ways
47.What does “they” in line 2 paragraph 2 stand for?
A.Broadcasts.
B.Channels.
C.Spectators.
D.Technologies.
48.How do many sports executives feel with the new technologies?
A.they are too old to do anything.
B.They feel ill at ease.
C.They feel completely at home.
D.Technologies can go hand in hand with sports.
49.What is going to be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A.the philosophy of visionary executives.
B.The process of television taking over sport.
C.Television coverage expansion.
D.An example to show how sport has taken over television.
50.What might be the appropriate title of this passage?
A.the arguments of sports executives.
B.The philosophy of visionary executives.
C.Sports and television in the 21st century.
D.Sports: a business.
Passage Four
Convenience food helps companies by creating growth, but what is its effect
on people? For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilization ,the
microwave is the last enemy. The communion of eating together
Is easily broken by a device that liberates households citizens from
waiting for mealtimes. The first great revolution in the history of food is in
danger of being undone. The companionship of the campfire, cooking pot and
common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at
least 150000 years could be destroyed.
Meals have certainly sated from the rise of convenience food. The only
meals regularly taken together in Britain these days are at the weekend, among
rich families struggling to retain something of the old symbol of togetherness.
Indeed, the day’s first meal has all but disappeared. In the 20th century the
leisure British breakfast was undermined by the corn flake; in the 21st
breakfast is vanishing altogether a victim of the quick cup of coffee in
Starbucks and the cereal bar.
Convenience food has also made people forget how to cook one of the
apparent paradoxes of modern food is that while the amount of time spent cooking
meals has fallen from 60 minutes a day in 1980 to 13M a day in 2002, the number
of cooks and television programmer on cooking has multiplied. But perhaps this
isn’t a paradox. Maybe it is became people can’t cook anymore, so they need to
be told how to do it, or maybe it is because people buy books about
hobbies---golf, yachting ---not about chores. Cooking has ceased to be a chore
and has become a hobby.
Although everybody lives in the kitchen. its facilities are increasingly
for display rather than for use. Mr. Silverstein’s now book, ”trading up” look
at mid-range consumer’s milling now to splash out. He says that industrial
--style Viking cook pot, with nearly twice the heat output of other ranges, have
helped to push the “kitchen as theater” trend in hour goods. They cost from
$1000 to $9000.Some 75% of them are never used.
Convenience also has an impact on the healthiness, or otherwise, of food
,of course there is nothing bad about ready to eat food itself. You don’t get
much healthier than an apple, and supermarkets sell a better for you range of
ready-meals. But there is a limit to the number of apples people want to eat;
and these days it is easier for people to eat the kind of food that makes them
fat The three Harvard economists in their paper “why have Americans become more
obese?” point out that in the past, if people wanted to eat fatty hot food, they
had to cook it. That took time and energy a good chip needs frying twice, once
to cook the potato and once to get it crispy. Which discouraged of consumption
of that cost of food. Mass preparation of food took away that constraint. Nobody
has to cut and d ouble cook their own fries these days. Who has the time?
51.What might the previous paragraphs deal with?
A.The relationship between meals and convenience food.
B.The importance of convenience food in people’s life.
C.The rise of convenience food.
D.The history of food industry.
52 .What is the paradox in the third paragraph?
A.People don’t know how to cook.
B.The facilities in the kitchen are not totally used.
C.People are becoming more obsess ,thus unhealthy.
D.Convenience food actually does not save people thrive.
53.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The bad effects of convenience food
B.Mr. Silverstein’s new book
C.People’s new hobby
D.Disappearance of the old symbol of togetherness.
54.Why has American become more obsess?
A.Because of eating chips.
B.Because of being busy.
C.Because of being lazy.
D.B and C.
55 .Which of the following might the another mostly agree with?
A.There is nothing bad about convenience food.
B.Convenience food makes people lazy.
C.Convenience food helps companies grow.
D.Convenience food is a revolution in cooking.
