Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part.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 decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money.So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500.“Send the money by telegram,”he wrote,“to the Fisher Ba
nk in P...”After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank.He showed his passport.“Nothing has come for you,”he was told.This went on for two weeks and Mr.Frank got very worried.He sent a telegram to his brother,asking where the money was.There was no reply,and no money arrived for him.
In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.His passport was taken from him.He tried to explain the problem,but no one believed him.He was sent to prison for six days.
When he came out,he went immediately to the Fisher bank.The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me?”he ask,“My name is Jackson Frank.”The clerk checked his books.“Yes,Jackson,it’s here.It came by telegram.——let me see——oh,more than two months ago.We wondered where you were.”He showed Mr.Frank the order.
The order read:“Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500...”
“ But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank Jackson.”
“ Oh,that’s all right,sir.It was in our books under the letter‘J’,but it’s your money.”The clerk laughed,“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?And so we all make mistakes.A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.”Mr Frank was silent.He really wanted to hit somebody.At last he said,“A human mistake——is that what you call it?I think some humans need kicking.”

A)he was afraid to see his brother

B)visiting the bank

B)he had spent almost all his money and couldn’t pay his hotel bill

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
To most Africans,tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group.It is a force that can be both good and bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or military leader it is considered good
common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to manager—within a very short time.
Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As evidence of tribalism,in 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.
26. What is the definition of tribalism?
A)Sharing among members of the extended family.
B)Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.
C)A force that can be both good and bad.
D)People have the same religious belief.

A)“a force that can be both good and bad”
B)“very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group”
C)“tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”
D)it is important to be loyal to one’s own tribal group
28. In paragraph 2,“the most important four” refers to ____.
A)military position B)business

30. According to the passage,which of the following statements is wrong?
A)Modern African politicians approve of tribal divisions.
B)A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.
C)Africans consider it an obligation to give a job to a fellow tribesman.
D)Tribalism is still a powerful force in day-to-day African life.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
No one loves the mosquito.
But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She?Yes, she. Did you know that only the female mosquito bites?Well,it’s true.And it’s not because she is unfriendly;she needs blood to reproduce.But why?Why did nature bother to create mosquitoes?Just to annoy us?Probably that wasn’t the main reason. Male mosquitoes live on the nectar of flowers,and some scientists believe that they pollinate the flowers as they fly from one to the other.Of course,mosquitoes have to reproduce,and unfortunately that’s where you and I come in.Like it or not,mosquitoes are here to stay.Ouch!(Slap!)One just bit me!
31. In paragraph 1,“no one loves the mosquito,”one refers to____.
A)female mosquito B)mosquito
C)somewhere D)person

www.59wj.comQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at,for,however far-fetched and unreasonable their contents may seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.With regard to Futurist poetry,however,the case is rather difficult,for whatever Futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as Literature.
This,in brief,is what the Futurist says for a century,past conditions of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.This speeding up of life,says the Futurist,requires a new form of expressions.We must speed up our literature too,if we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them;we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten or lengthen words at will.
Certainly their descriptions of battles are vividly chaotic.But it is a little disconcerting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river——and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling are the weights of the officers.“Pluff!Pulff!A hundred and eighty fivekilograms.”
This,though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry can hardly be classed as Literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole question is really this:how we essentially changed?
36. The main idea of this selections is best expressed as ____.
A)The Past versus the future
B)Changes in modern Life
C)Merits of the Futurist movement
D)An evaluation of Futurist poetry
37. When novel ideas appear,it is desirable,according to the writer,to ____.
A)discover the aims of their adherents
B)ignore them
C)follow the fashion
D)regard them as normal
38. The Futurists claim that we must ____.
A)increase the production of literature
B)look to the future
C)develop new literary forms
D)avoid unusual words
39. The writer believes that Futurist poetry is ____.
A)too emotional
B)too new in type to be acceptable
C)not literature as he knows it
D)essential to basic change in the nature mankind
40. The futurist poet uses all the following devices EXCEPT____.
A)imitative words
B)qualifying adjectives
C)different colored inks
D)a stream of essential words

第二段首句“假如没有电的话”，本段可视为第一段的一个反面论证，举例时应尽量避免和第一段重复

Writing Sample
Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines.The modern wondercomputers work on electricity too.It provides light,heat and power for us.If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios we also need it.Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.
If there were no electric power,our modern world would be in trouble.For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail.For another,many,if not all,of our industries would cease production.All the
world transport system,in addition,would be felt on the world’s communication systems.Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity.
Therefore,we should make better use of electric power.On the other hand,we should educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future.At the same time we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.
