Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the
center.
Passage One
Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and **ing darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady had some difficulty in climbing through the car door, and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet. She said to Andrea, in a voice that was almost a whisper, \"Thank you dear - I'm just going to Brock Bourne\"
Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head, made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She didn't know why, but she felt instinctively that there was something wrong, something old, and something dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous? It was absurd.
Careful not to turn her head, Andrea look sideways at her
passenger. She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, and the arms with their thick black hairs. Thick black hairs?
Hairy arms? Andrea's blood froze. This wasn't a woman. It was a man.
At first, she didn't know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt.
\"My god!\" she shouted. \"A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her. \"
The \"old lady\" was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. \"I didn't see anything dear,\" she said. \"I don't think you hit anything. \"
\"I am sure it was a child!\" insisted Andrea. \"Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there is anything on the road?\" she held her breath. Would her plan work?
It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate. As soon as in front of her vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away, and soon she had put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.
It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her. Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity about the man. Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.
It contained only one item — a small hand axe, with a razor-sharp blade. The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood. Andrea began to scream. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 31.
Andrea allowed the hitchhiker to take a ride in her car, mainly because ______.
A the hitchhiker was an old woman B she was curious about the old lady C the lady had a heavy bag D she knew the old lady SSS_SINGLE_SEL32. What made Andrea afraid when she looked at the old lady?
A She had a shapeless body. B She had a harsh voice. C She wore a dirty dress. D She had hairy arms. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 33. Andrea suddenly stopped the car because ______.
A she thought she had hit a child on the road B she skidded on some ice on the road
C she wanted to trick the passenger into getting out D she couldn't concentrate and nearly had a crash SSS_SINGLE_SEL34. Andrea looked in the passenger's bag to ______. A examine what was in it B find out where the passenger lived C use the passenger's tools D find out who the passenger was SSS_SINGLE_SEL 35. Andrea screamed because ______. A she saw the **e back
B she realized she could have been killed C she was scared at seeing blood
D she cut herself by the blade Passage Two
The social sciences, as the name shows, are the scientific study of the behavior of human beings, both in groups and individually. There is no past or present information of human beings who were not in
groups. The groups may be small, like the family, or large, like a city or nation. But in order to **plete development, man must be a member of a society. It is true that some individuals are more solitary than others. Some, like monks or hermits, may decide, for religious or other reasons, to leave their society and live alone. But these are unusual individuals, and even they can not separate **pletely from the rest of mankind. A society, then, seems to be the natural environment of mankind. Scholars who study mankind in social organizations are called social scientists.
The human behavior which social scientists study is learned behavior. The behavior of the human body as a living organism is studied by the biologist, the biochemist, or the physician. This behavior of man's physical body is inherited through the genetic development of his species. For example, all physical normal and
healthy humans learn to walk as their bodies grow and develop. Social scientists concern themselves with the behavior that man must learn so that he can take his place in a social group. In order to be a functioning member of a group, each member must learn to behave in a way acceptable to other members of that group. The kind of behavior, which must be learned, differs according to the differences among societies.
The social scientists are newcomers to academic studies. By the end of the nineteenth century, the natural sciences had developed a method, by which they were able to understand the physical
world. By using the scientific method, chemists, physicists, and astronomers, for example, learned a great deal about the universe. It seemed reasonable to apply the same method to the study of man's social life. Through this kind of study man may learn to understand himself much better.
The scientific method is a way of collecting facts in order to describe an existing situation as correctly **pletely as possible. The description must consist only of what can be perceived, analyzed, measured, and recorded. Feelings and personal opinions or ideas have no place in scientific description. The facts must be observed and described in such a way that another scientist could repeat the same study and get the same results. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 36. According to the passage, what is true about all human being?
A They are more solitary than others. B They all belong to clubs. C They are all members of groups.
D They separate themselves from the rest of world. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 37. What does a social scientist study?
A The family.
B Human beings as members of groups. C Nation.
D Molecules and ions. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 38. How does social behavior differ from physical behavior?
A It is learned.
B It is inherited from our ancestors. C It depends on genetic development. D It is the same for all human beings. SSS_SINGLE_SEL39. Which of the following have no place in the scientific method?
A Careful observations. B Accurate measurements. C Sincere emotions. D A reasonable hypothesis. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 40.
How many groups of people using the scientific method are mentioned in the passage?
A Three. B Two. C One.
D Four. Passage Three
Some people would say that the Englishman's home is no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average Englishman is keen on working with his own hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many households for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that builders' and decorators' cost have reached a level which makes them prohibitive for house-proud
English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years what is sometimes referred to as the \"do-it-yourself movement\".
The \"do-it-yourself movement\" began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that can't be made by the \"do-it-yourself movement\" method. A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show hopeful handymen of all ages just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen foot (4.5 meters) sailing dinghy. All you need, it seems, is a hammer and a few nails. You follow the simple instructions step by step and, before you know where you are, the finished article stands before you, completely in every detail. Unfortunately, alas, it is not always quite as simple as it sounds. Many a budding \"do-it- yourself\" has found to his cost that one cannot learn a skilled craftsman's job overnight. How quickly one realizes, when doing it oneself, that a job which takes the skilled man an hour or so to complete takes the amateur handyman five or six at least. And then there is the question of tools. The first thing the amateur learns is that he must have the right tools for the job. But tools cost money. There is also the wear and tear on the nerves. It is not surprising then that many people **e to the conclusion that the expense of paying processional to do the work is, in the long run, more economical than \"do-it-yourself \" SSS_SINGLE_SEL 41. Many Englishman join in the movement of \"do-it-yourself\______.
A they are skilled handymen B they are proud of their houses C they can't afford professional help D they are mean SSS_SINGLE_SEL 42. Which of the following people can repair and decorate their own houses?
A Skilled craftsman. B Handymen of all ages. C Hopeful men. D Family supporters.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL 43. The \"do-it-yourself movement\" originates in ______.
A house repairing B house building C house decorating D furniture building SSS_SINGLE_SEL44. The word \"budding\" (Line 1, Para. 3) probably means ______.
A flourishing B promising C undeveloped D skillful SSS_SINGLE_SEL 45. Which of the following is false? Some Englishmen prefer hiring professional decorators, because ______. A they are wealthy
B the craftsman's job is **plicated
C the tools are expensive
D \"do-it-yourself\" brings a lot of trouble Passage Four
The question of what children learn, and how they should learn it, is continually being debated and re-debated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion, the grammar-with-a-whip system, which was good enough for our
grandparents. The theories of modem psychology have stepped into
argue that we must understand the needs of children. Children are not just small adults, they are children who must be respected as such. Well, you may say, this is as it should be a good idea. But think further, what happens? \"Education\" becomes the responsibility not of teachers but of psychologists. What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child's. So teachers worry whether history is relevant to modem young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teaching children to write grammatical sentences?
Verbal expression is better Sums? Arithmetic? No: real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.
You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theories, who have nothing better to do than write book about their ideas, teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate, sophisticated preparations and try out their modem standard on the long-suffering children. Since one modem method rapidly replaces another, the floor kids will have had a good
bellyful by the time they leave school. Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 46. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ______.
A hasn't formed his own opinion on the problem B defend the old system which was good enough for our grandparents
C think that we should treat the modem methods calmly and not overcorrect the old system
D accept the theories of modem psychology totally SSS_SINGLE_SEL 47.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A Neither teachers nor children can understand the modem methods.
B Children must be understood and respected.
C Children were made to learn passively under the old system. D Children are small adults and know what they need. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 48. What happen when teachers focus too much attention to the psychological method of their lessons?
A Education of children becomes the responsibility of psychologists.
B They neglect the actual lessons. C Children dislike their lessons.
D They dare not to recount stories about violent battles. SSS_SINGLE_SEL
49.
Why is verbal expression better than grammatical sentences?
A Because verbs are more useful.
B Because talking freely without sentences is a better form of expression.
C Because formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expression. D Because educational theorists encourage to teach children verbal expression. SSS_SINGLE_SEL 50. According to the passage, the author's attitude toward educational theorists is ______.
A approval B admiring C unbiased
D critical

I stopped to let the car cool off and to study the map. I had
expected to be near my objective by now, but everything still seemed alien to me. I was only five when my father had taken me abroad, and that was eighteen years ago. When my mother had died after a tragic accident, he did not quickly recover from the shock and loneliness. Everything around him was full of her presence, continually reopening the wound. So he decided to emigrate. In the new country he became absorbed in making a new life for the two of us, so that he gradually ceased to grieve. He did not marry again and I was brought up without a mother's care, but I lacked for nothing, for he was both father and mother to me. He always meant to go back one day, but not to stay. His roots and mine had become too firmly embedded in the new land. SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
