Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the center on your Answer Sheet I.

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you 31 wonder how it is possible for us to 32 people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the 33 that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child 34 an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces. We all 35 this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart 36 how they behave. When we talk about smeone's personality, we mean 37 in which he or she acts. Speaks, thinks, and feels 38 that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality 39 words is somewhat easier than 40 his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you 41 have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person," you 42 begin to think about someone who was kind, 43 , friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe 44 a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, 45 U.S. Psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words 46 differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a 47 for describing a 48 , 49 , military types—people are described with such 50 .

31. A. anytime B. sometimes C. ever D. always

32. A. recognize B. spot C. locate D. know

Part IV Reading Comprehension (25%)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there are five short passages for you to read. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer marked A, B, C or D, and then mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet I.

Passage 1

If national health insurance would not cure the problems of the American health-care system, what, then, is responsible for them? Suspicion falls heavily on hospitals, which make up the largest component of the system. In 1988 hospitals accounted for 39 percent of all expenditures—more than doctors, nursing homes, drugs, and home health care combined.

Although US hospitals provide outstanding research and frequently excellent care, they also exhibit the classic attributes of inefficient organizations; increasing costs and decreasing use. The average cost of a hospital stay in 1987—$3,850—was more than double the 1980 cost. A careful government analysis published in 1987 revealed the inflation of hospital costs, over and above general price inflation, as a major factor in their growth, even after allowances were made for increase in the population and in intensity of care. While the rate of increase for hospital costs was 27 percent greater than that of all medical care and 163 percent greater than that for all other goods and services, demand for hospital services fell by 34 percent. But hospitals seemed obvious of the decline: during this period the number of hospital beds shrank only by about three percent, and the number of full-time employees grew by more than 240,000.

After yet another unexpectedly high hospital-cost increase last year, one puzzled government analyst asked, “Where’s the money going?” Much of the increase in hospital costs—amounting to $180 billion from 1965 to 1987—went to duplicating medical technology available in nearby hospitals and maintaining excess beds. Modern healthcare, a leading journal in the field, recently noted that “anecdotes of [hospitals'] unnecessary spending on technology abound.” Medical technology is very expensive. An operating room outfitted to perform open-heart surgery costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. From 1982 to 1989 the number of hospitals with open-heart-surgery facilities grew by 33 percent, and the most rapid growth occurred among smaller and moderate-sized hospitals. This growth was worrisome for reasons of both costs and quality. Underused technology almost inevitably decreases quality of care. In medicine, as in everything else, practice makes perfect. For example, most of the hospitals with the lowest mortality rates for coronary-bypass surgery perform at least fifty to a hundred such procedures annually, and in some cases many more; the majority of those with the highest mortality rates perform fewer than fifty a year.

51. According to the passage, the American health-care system _______.

A. is on the point of collapse

B. is working smoothly

C. is the best system in the world

D. is not working efficiently

52. In 1980, the average cost of a hospital stay was _______.

A. more than $1,925

B. $3,850

C. less than $1,925

D. $1,925

53. When demand for hospital services fell, hospitals _______.

A. continued to take on more full-time medical workers

B. took effective measures to reduce their expenditures

C. were fully aware of the situation and took some measures accordingly

D. reduced the number of hospital beds sharply

54. According to the passage, hospital costs went up greatly mainly because _______.

A. hospitals were under poor management

B. hospitals spent a lot of money unnecessarily on medical technology

C. hospitals bought too much expensive operating equipment

D. hospitals employed too many unskilled medical workers

55. It is implied in the last paragraph that if a hospital uses its medical technology to the full, _______.

A. it will maintain its good quality of care

B. it will decrease its quality of treatment

C. it will certainly push up its expenditures

D. it will have a high mortality rate from surgery

Passage 2

What might driving on an automated highway be like? The answer depends on what land of system is ultimately adopted. Two distinct types are on the drawing board. The first is a special purpose lane system, in which certain lanes are reserved for automated vehicles. The second is a mixed traffic system: fully automated vehicles would share the road with partially automated or manual driven cars. A special purpose lane system would require more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, but it promises the greatest gains in freeway capacity.

Under either scheme, the driver would specify the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer in the car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before reaching the automated highway. If a mixed traffic system way was in place, automated driving could begin whenever the driver was on suitably equipped roads. If special purpose lanes were available, the car could enter them and join existing traffic in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp. As the driver approached the point of entry for the highway, devices installed on the roadside would electronically check the vehicle to determine its destination and to ascertain that it had the proper automation equipment in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the driver would then be guided through a gate and toward an automated lane. In this case, the transition from manual to automated control would take place on the entrance ramp. An alternative technique could employ conventional lanes, which would be shared by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer only the highway and move in normal fashion to a "transition" lane. The vehicle would then shift under computer control onto a lane reserved for automated traffic. [The limitation of these lanes to automated traffic would, presumably, be well respected, because all trespassers (非法进入者) could be swiftly identified by authorities.]

56. We learn from the first paragraph that two systems of automated highways

_______.

A. are under construction

B. are being planned

C. are being modified

D. are now in wide use

57. A special purpose lane system is probably advantageous in that _______.

A. it offers more lanes for automated vehicles

B. it would require only minor changes to existing highways

C. it would achieve the greatest highway traffic efficiency

D. it has a lane for both automated and partially automated vehicles

58. Which of the following is TRUE about driving on an automated highway?

A. The driver should share the automated lane with those of regular vehicles.

B. Vehicles traveling on it are assigned different lanes according to their

destinations.

C. A car can join existing traffic any time in a mixed lane system.

D. The driver should inform his car computer of his destination before driving

onto it.

59. We know from the passage that a car can enter a special purpose lane _______.

A. after all trespassers are identified and removed

B. by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional lane

C. by way of a ramp with electronic control devices

D. through a specially guarded gate

60. When driving in an automated lane, the driver _______.

A. doesn't have to hold on to the steering wheel

B. should harmonize with newly entering cars

C. doesn't have to rely on his computer system

D. should watch out for potential accidents

Passage 3

There are various kinds of student exchange programs between the United States and other countries. Here are some that most interest foreign students.

ASSE is the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. This program was established in Sweden in nineteen seventy-six to organize exchanges with the United States. It expanded to include students in Denmark, Norway, and Finland. Today ASSE organizes international exchanges for high school students in thirty-one countries. The students live with a family and attend school for a year.

Other programs also offer high school students a chance to come to the United States, like the Program of Academic Exchange, or PAE.

For college students, there are programs like the International Student Exchange Program, or ISEP. This is a group of almost three hundred colleges in thirty-nine countries. ISEP is an independent organization that was supported by the United States government until nineteen ninety-six. ISEP is a true exchange program. That means two students from different countries trade places for a semester or a year.

Work and Travel USA is also for college students. But this program is not for those who want to study in the United States. It provides international students with the chance to work for up to four months while exploring American life. The State Department says they generally work in hotels, restaurants and amusement parks but may also work for other employers. An organization called CIEE administers this program. It says students must understand that the money they earn from their work may not be enough to pay all of their costs.

61. The program ASSE established in Sweden organizes exchanges with _______.

A. Norway

B. Finland

C. Denmark

D. The United States

62. Which of the following programs organizes exchanges for high school students?

A. None of the following.

B. Program of Academic Exchange.

C. Work and Travel USA.

D. International Student Exchange Program.

63. Which of the following statements is NOT true about ISEP?

A. According to ISEP two students from different countries will trade places for

a semester or a year.

B. It is a program for college students.

C. It is a group of almost three hundred colleges in thirty-nine countries.

D. The program is supported by the United States government now.

64. The program Work and Travel USA is administered by _______.

A. a travel agency

B. an organization called CIE

C. the United States government

D. the State Department

65. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. How to Work and Travel in the United States.

B. The Past and Present of ASSE.

C. Student Exchange Programs Between the United States and Other Countries.

D. The Function of the International Student Exchange Program.

Passage 4

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex—both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman's place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are "dependents".

The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role. Information distinctions between "women's work" and "men's work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.

Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned. But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.

66. What does the author think of the ideology that biology is destiny?

A. It's somewhat a prejudice against women.

B. It's well based and justified.

C. It's totally unreasonable.

D. It's popular with all people.

67. According to this ideology, women are more suited to the performance of domestic duties because _______.

A. this is a natural division of labor

B. they are naturally the weaker sex

C. they are born good at domestic duties

D. they are more careful than men

68. According to this ideology, women's positions are nurses and secretaries are

_______.

A. a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes

B. appropriate as a result of their special capabilities

C. an extension of women's domestic roles based on this ideology

D. a reflection of women's absolute limitation to the household

69. What's the author's attitude toward sex defined roles?

A. Such roles are politically determined and thus acceptable.

B. Such roles are physically determined and thus natural.

C. Such roles are socially determined and thus full of prejudice.

D. Such roles are biologically determined and thus scientific.

70. Which of the following statements can NOT be inferred from this passage?

A. Prejudices against women still exist in this society.

B. Sex defined roles are totally acceptable to believers of this ideology.

C. Sex role differences are taught in schools.

D. Women may not be dependents as men may not be providers.

Passage 5

By the year 2100, global temperatures are expected to rise by between 0.8 and 3.5 degree Celsius. That may not seem like much, but such an increase in temperature would cause a rise in sea levels large enough to put the lives of up to 100 million people at risk. Widespread flooding, as well as droughts in other areas, could cause mass migrations as areas become uninhabitable; tropical diseases would almost certainly spread northwards, causing wide-ranging and mostly adverse impacts on human health, with significant loss of life.

For the first time in the scientific community, there is total agreement that the activity of humans is at least partly responsible for the problem—specifically the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which is released by the burning of wood, coal and petroleum products. Reducing harmful emission is just one area in which the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel is decidedly optimistic. For one thing, in the short term it might not prove that difficult. Efficiency improvements alone could cut energy needs by as much as 30 percent at virtually no extra cost and, in developed countries, emission reductions of up to 60 percent "are technically feasible." In the longer term, harmful emissions will be reduced as the world changes over to cheaper, less environmentally damaging energy sources.

So, if it is economically and technically feasible to reduce harmful emissions, why is almost nothing being done? There are two main reasons. The first stems from the uncertainty about how hot the planet is going to get. The current estimate is extremely broad—between 0.8 and 3.5 degree Celsius by 2100. If the former prediction is accurate, it may be that we can adapt to it without difficulty; if, on the other hand, the latter is closer to reality, complete rethinking of the world's energy supplies is already long overdue.

This leads directly to the second problem—the time scale involved. It is difficult to get people to act when predictions may take between 50 and 100 years materialize. For politicians, who face elections every half decade or so, preventive action against a future threat—the magnitude of which is still very uncertain—carries heavy political risks.

Even if politicians in the developed world were to be forced into action, what of the developing world, which is economically dependent on fossil fuels? Should it reduce emissions, and suffer consequences, because of mistakes made by the developed world?

One suggestion is that developing countries be given allowances above the current emission standards. This would enable them to meet their industrialized needs and ultimately help them to finance environmentally sound technologies. This would seem the only realistic way of getting agreement from developing countries—a vital requirement because, if preventive action is going to work, "you really do have to have everyone on board."

71. Which is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

A. Disasters caused by global temperature rise and inter-connected.

B. The rise of global temperature may cause many disasters.

C. An obvious increase of global temperature may endanger the life of millions

of people in the world.

D. Global temperature has risen by 0.8 to 3.5 degrees Celsius in recent years.

72. Why is the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel decidedly optimistic about the

reduction of harmful emission?

A. Because technically it's not very difficult to reduce harmful emission or turn

to the use of less harmful resources.

B. Because it's rather easy to persuade governments to reduce harmful emission.

C. Because, technically speaking, it's not difficult to stop all harmful emission.

D. Because all harmful resources will be replaced by harmless resources.

73. The last word of Paragraph 3 "overdue" most probably means _______.

A. late

B. reasonable

C. accurate

D. feasible

74. Why do politicians of developed countries hesitate to reduce harmful emission?

A. Because harmful emission control is the sole duty of developing countries.

B. Because action against a future threat is a political risk.

C. Because present harmful emission will never lead to global temperature rise.

D. Because they are afraid that harmful emission control might cost too much.

75. What does the author think of developing countries' harmful emission according to

the last paragraph?

A. Developing countries are difficult to persuade to reduce their harmful

emission.

B. Developing countries may emit more for some time.

C. Developing countries should immediately reduce their harmful emission.

D. Developing countries are unlikely to solve environmentally sound

technologies.

Section A

Directions: Put the following into Chinese and write your Chinese version on Answer Sheet II.

It has almost become trite to suggest that we are entering an age as significant and profound in its impact as was the Industrial Revolution. When you think about it, the convergence of computing and communications has already affected most of the major institutions of society. It has created unprecedented opportunities for education, health services, recreation and commerce. Unfortunately, it has also created unprecedented opportunities for crime. It seems to me that identifying these vulnerabilities and mobilizing appropriate countermeasures will be one of the great challenges of the next century.

This challenge is so great that it defies the capacity of law enforcement alone to control. Consequently, new forms of policing, involving the harnessing of non-government resources, will become essential. Given the fact that cyberspace knows no boundaries, and that computer crime often transcends national frontiers, effective countermeasures will also require a degree of international co-operation which is without precedent.

Part I Listening Comprehension

Section C

Tapescript

There is a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any examinations", was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be called the aggressive approach. Your search is over and I am the person you've been waiting for. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view.

There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the resume.

Section A

暗示我们现在正进入一个如同工业革命一样具有意义重大而深远的时代几乎可以说是一个老调重弹的话题。当你考虑这个问题时,计算机和通信的融合已经给我们的大多数社会机构带来了巨大的影响。这一融合给教育、卫生、娱乐和商业创造了前所未有的机会,不幸的是,它也给犯罪创造了史无前例的机会。在我看来讨论这些负面影响,并且采取合适的对策会是下一个世纪的巨大挑战之一。

这一挑战的威力如此之大以至于它能单独抵制法律事实的能力而达到控制的目的。因此,新的政策形式,包括利用非政府资源,将变得极其重要。考虑到网络无国界这一事实,计算机犯罪经常超越国界,采取有效地对策也将要求国际合作打到一种史无前例的程度。
