Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Passage I
The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise,
market－oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced
by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that
they want most. Private businessmen , striving to make profits , produce these
goods and services in competition with other businessmen ; and the profit motive
, operating under competitive pressures , largely determines how these goods
and services are produced. Thus, in the American eoonomic system it is the demand
of individual consumers , coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize
profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together
determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.
An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which
consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American
economy, this mechanism is provided bv a price system, a process in which prices
rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered
by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand
, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market.
If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its
cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which
in tum will lower the price and
permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism
in the American economic system .
The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are
allowed to own productive resources (private propeny) , and they are permitted
to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services
for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property
embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights,
including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract
with another private individual .
51 . In Line 11 , Para 1 , "the desire of individuals to maximize their
incomes" means__.
A. Americans are never satisfied with their incomes
B. Americans tend to oventate their incomes
C. Americans want to have their incomes increased
D. Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes
52. The first two &ntences in the second paragraph tell us that__.
A. producers can satisfy the oonsumers by mechanized production
B. consumers can express their demands through producers
C. producers decide the prices of products
D. supply and demand regulate prices
53 . According to the passage, a private-enterprise economy is characterized
by__.
A. private property and rights concerned
B. manpower and natural resources control
C. ownership of productive resources
D. free contracts and prices
54. The passage is mainly about__.
A. how American goods are produced
B. how American consumers buy their goods
C. how American economic system works
D. how American businessmen make their profits
Passage 2
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit
card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels,
at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services
available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically,
making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether
or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society"
is not on the horizon-it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers , they have many advantages
for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring
up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when,
and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list
of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.
Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same
time these computers reoord which hours are busiest and which employees are
the most efficient , allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made
accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional canlpaigns.
Computers are relied on bv manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed
nlarketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which
to develop for the future , and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods
in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises , from theaters to magazine publishers,
from gas and electric utilities to milk processors , bring better and more efficialt
services to consumers through
the use of computers.
55 . According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to__.
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B. obtain more convenient services than other people do
C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
D. cash money wherever he wishes to
56. From the ast sentence of the first paragraph we learn that __.
A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
57. The phrase "ring up sales" (Line 3, Para. 2) most probably means
"__".
A. make an order of goods
B. record sales on a cash register
C. call the sales manager
D. keep track of the goods in stock
58. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.
C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.
D. Advantages of credit cards in business.
Passage 3
Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of
the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential ,
their education must be adapted to those differences.
Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves
describing their environnlent as well. While the leading actor on the stage
captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players
and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which
exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development.
And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society'
s understanding--the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next
generation.
Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that minor we can
see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central
values of the culture itself. The great
interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three
decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens , whatever
their special conditions , deserve the oppor-
tunity to fully develop their capabllities.
"All men are created equal. " We've heard it many times, but it
still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although
the phrase was used by this country' s founders to denote equality before the
law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept
implies educational opportunity for all children-the right of each child to
receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that
capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right
of all children-disabled or not-to an appropriate education , and have ordered
that pubLic schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response
, schools are modifying their programs , adapting instruction to children who
are exceptional , to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
59. In Paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the
stage to show that
A. the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their famiLy and the
society
B. exceptional children are more influenced by their families than nomlal children
are
C. exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society
D. the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional
children
60. The reason that the exceptional children receive so much concern in education
is that__.
A. they are expected to be leaders of the society
B. they might become a burden of the society
C. they should fully develop their potentials
D. disabled children deserve special consideration
61 . This passage mainly deals with__.
A. the differences of children in their learning capabilities
B. the definition of exceptional children in modern society
C. the special educational programs for exceptional children
D. the necessity of adapting education to exceptional children
62 . From this passage we learn that the educational concern for exceptional
children ___.
A. is now enjoying legal support
B. disagrees with the tradition of the country
C. was clearly stated by the country' s founders
D. will exert great influence over court decisions
Passage 4
"I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we'll know in
vast detail how cancer cells arise, " says microbiologist Robert Weinberg,
an expert on cancer. "But, " he cautions, "some people have the
idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow.
Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but
it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available. "
This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive
at least five years. In the year 2000 , the National Cancer Institute estimates,
that figure will be 75 percent.
For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent.
But other survivaＬ statistics are still discouraging-----13 percent for lung
cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pan-
creas (胰腺) .
With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is
not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they
disoovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes (基因) , are inactive
in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate
a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven
into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.
The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that
many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never
prevent all cancers. "Changes are a nor-
mal part of the evoLutionary process , " says oncologist William Haywar.
Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out
, "We can' t prepare a medicine against cosmic
rays. "The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.
"First , we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second,
we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which
are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand
how cancer works, we can counteract its action. "
63. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to__.
A. predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decade
B. indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are bright
C. prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty years
D. warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered
64. The author implies that bv the year 2000 ,__.
A. there will be a drastic rise in the five-year survival rate of skin-cancer
patients
B. 90 percent of the skin-cancer patients today will still be living
C. the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancers
D. there won' t be a drastic increase of survival rate of all cancer patients
65 . Oncogenes are cancer-causing genes__.
A. that are always in operation in a healthy person
B. which remain unharmful so long as they are not activated
C. that can be driven out of normal cells
D. which normal cells can' t turn off
66 . The word "dormant" in the third paragraph most probably means__.
A. dead B. ever-present C. inactive D. potential
Passage 5
Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds"
to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander
Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of
cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then.
He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made
his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious
trial and enor. Innovation is like soc-
cer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more
frequently than they score.
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots
at the and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference
between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but
innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they
prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions
, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there' s no particular
virtue in doing things the way they have always been done, " wrote Rudolph
Flexh, a language authority, this accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple
innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life
more convenient : "How come nobody thought of that before?"
The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears.
Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced
with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the
best-known and apparentLy simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate
courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting
and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.
Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.
67. What does the author probably mean by "untaught mind" in the first
paragraph?
A. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.
B. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.
C. A person who has had no education.
D. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.
68 . According to the author , what distinguishes innovators from non-innovators?
A. The variety of ideas they have.
B. The intelligence they possess.
C. The way they deal with problems.
D. The way they present their findings.
69. The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because__.
A. Rudolph Flesch is the best-known expert in the study of human creativity
B. the quotation strengthens the assertion that creative individuals look for
new ways of doing things .
C. the reader is familiar with Rudolph Flesch' s point of view
D. the quotation adds a new idea to the informatlon previously presented
70. The phrase "march to a different drummer" (the last line of the
passage) suggests that highly creative individuals are__.
A. diligent in pursuing their goals
B. reluctant to follow common ways of doing things
C. devoted to the progress of science
D. concemed about the advance of society
Part Ⅳ English-Chinese Translation
According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force
in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. (71 ) Science moves forward,
they say, not so much through the
insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved
techniques and tools. (72) "In short" , a leader of the new school
contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement
and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of
science in innumerable directions. "
(73 )Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental
innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science.
The modern school that hails technology algues that such masters as Galileo,
Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as Edison attached great importance
to, and derived great benefit from, craft information and technological devices
of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments.
The centerhiece of the argument of a technology-yes , genius-no advocate was
an analysis of Gialileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The
wisdom of the day was derived from
Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the
sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions. (74) Galileo' s greatest
glory was that in 1609 he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope
on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than
around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new school
of scientists, was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making
eyeglasses .
Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute.
(75)Whether the Govemment should increase the financing of pure science at the
expense of technology or vice ver-
sa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.
