Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 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 centre.
学习啦在线学习网Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
学习啦在线学习网For years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking multivitamins does is give them expensive urine (尿). After all, true vitamin deficiencies are practically unheard of in industrialized countries. Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong. The results of a growing number of studies suggest that even a modest vitamin shortfall can be harmful to your health. Although proof of the benefits of multivitamins is still far from certain, the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment.
Or at least that's the argument put forward in the New England Journal of Medicine. Ideally, say Dr. Walter Willett and Dr. Meir Stampfer of Harvard, all vitamin supplements would be evaluated in scientifically rigorous clinical trials. But those studies can take a long time and often raise more questions than they answer. At some point, while researchers work on figuring out where the truth lies, it just makes sense to say the potential benefit outweighs the cost.
学习啦在线学习网The best evidence to date concerns folate, one of the B vitamins. It's been proved to limit the number of defects in embryos (胚胎), and a recent trial found that folate in combination with vitamin B 12 and a form of B6 also decreases the re-blockage of arteries after surgical repair.
The news on vitamin E has been more mixed. Healthy folks who take 400 international units daily for at least two years appear somewhat less likely to develop heart disease. But when doctors give vitamin E to patients who already have heart disease, the vitamin doesn't seem to help. It may turn out that vitamin E plays a role in prevention but cannot undo serious damage.
学习啦在线学习网Despite vitamin C's great popularity, consuming large amounts of it still has not been positively linked to any great benefit. The body quickly becomes saturated with C and simply excretes (排泄) any excess.
The multivitamins question boils down to this: Do you need to wait until all the evidence is in before you take them, or are you willing to accept that there's enough evidence that they don't hurt and could help?
If the latter, there's no need to go to extremes and buy the biggest horse pills or the most expensive bottles. Large doses can cause trouble, including excessive bleeding and nervous system problems.

学习啦在线学习网part ii reading comprehension (35 minutes)
学习啦在线学习网directions: there are 4 passages in this part. each passage is followed by some questions or
学习啦在线学习网unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a),b),c) and
学习啦在线学习网d). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the
学习啦在线学习网answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
学习啦在线学习网passage one
学习啦在线学习网questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
there are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media.
movies. television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably
ask what’s wrong with a society that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment. most
researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. a 1993 study by the u.s.
national academy of sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community
学习啦在线学习网factors” as all playing their parts.
学习啦在线学习网viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute
to violent behavior in certain individuals.
the trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the
学习啦在线学习网case for causality (因果关系). skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of
societies including the
american medical association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “at this
学习啦在线学习网time, well over 1,000 studies… point overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media
violence and aggressive behavior in some children.”
freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even
disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). when jonathan
freedman, a social psychologist at the university of toronto, reviewed the literature, he found
only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. and when he weeded out “the most
doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.
学习啦在线学习网the critical point here is causality. the alarmists say they have proved that violent media
学习啦在线学习网cause aggression. but the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. when
学习啦在线学习网labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a
学习啦在线学习网violent event? and when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive’
学习啦在线学习网or ‘non-aggressive’ words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? the intent
of the new harvard center on media and child health to collect and standardize studies of media
violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important [page]
step in the right direction.
学习啦在线学习网another appropriate ster would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. several
researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. that is,
of course, their privilege. but when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter
学习啦在线学习网has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. in response, the alarmists accuse critics
and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. such clashes help neither
学习啦在线学习网science nor society.
学习啦在线学习网21. why is there so much violence shown in movies, tv and video games?
a) there is a lot of violence in the real world today.
b) something has gone wrong with today’s society.
c) many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.
学习啦在线学习网d) showing violence is thought to be entertaining.
学习啦在线学习网22. what is the skeptics (line 3. para.3) view of media violence?
a) violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.
b) most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.
c) a causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.
学习啦在线学习网d) the influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.
23. the author uses the term “alarmists” (line 1. para.5) to refer to those who ______.
a) use standardized measurements in the studies of media violence
学习啦在线学习网b) initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on reality
学习啦在线学习网c) assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior
学习啦在线学习网d) use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior
24. in refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging____.
a) the source and amount of their data
学习啦在线学习网b) the targets of their observation
c) their system of measurement
d) their definition of violence
25. what does the author think of the debate concerning the relationship between the media and
violence?
学习啦在线学习网a) more studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn.
b) it should come to an end since the matter has now been settled.
学习啦在线学习网c) the past studies in this field have proved to be misleading.
d) he more than agrees with the views held by the alarmists.
学习啦在线学习网passage two
学习啦在线学习网questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
you’re in trouble if you have to buy your own brand-name prescription drugs. over the past
decade, prices leaped by more than double the inflation rate. treatments for chronic conditions can
学习啦在线学习网easily top ＄2,000 a month-no wonder that one in four americans can’s afford to fill their
学习啦在线学习网prescriptions. the solution? a hearty chorus of “o canada.” north of the border, where price
学习啦在线学习网controls reign, those same brand-name drugs cost 50% to 80% less.
学习啦在线学习网the canadian option is fast becoming a political wake-up call, “if our neighbors can buy
drugs at reasonable prices, why can’t we?” even to whisper that thought provokes anger.
“un-american!” and-the propagandists’ trump card (王牌)—“wreck our brilliant health-care
system.” super-size drug prices, they claim, fund the research that sparks the next generation of
wonder drugs. no sky-high drug price today, no cure for cancer tomorrow. so shut up and pay up.
学习啦在线学习网common sense tells you that’s a false alternative. the reward for finding. say, a cancer cure is so
huge that no one’s going to hang it up. nevertheless, if canada-level pricing came to the united
states, the industry’s profit margins would drop and the pace of new-drug development would
学习啦在线学习网slow. here lies the american dilemma. who is all this splendid medicine for? should our
health-care system continue its drive toward the best of the best, even though rising numbers of
patients can’t afford it? or should we direct our wealth toward letting everyone in on today’s level
学习啦在线学习网of care? measured by saved lives, the latter is almost certainly the better course.
学习啦在线学习网to defend their profits, the drug companies have warned canadian wholesalers and
pharmacies(药房) not to sell to americans by mail, and are cutting back supplies to those who
dare.
meanwhile, the administration is playing the fear card. officials from the food and drug [page]
学习啦在线学习网administration will argue that canadian drugs might be fake, mishandled, or even a potential
threat to life.
学习啦在线学习网do bad drugs fly around the internet? sure-and the more we look, the more we’ll find, but i
haven’t heard of any raging epidemics among the hundreds of thousands of people buying
学习啦在线学习网cross-border.
学习啦在线学习网most users of prescription drugs don’s worry about costs a lot.
学习啦在线学习网they’re sheltered by employee insurance, owing just a $20 co-pay.
the financial blows rain, instead, on the uninsured, especially the chronically ill who need
expensive drugs to live, this group will still include middle-income seniors on medicare, who’ll
学习啦在线学习网have to dig deeply into their pockets before getting much from the new drug benefit that starts in
2006.
26. what is said about the consequence of the rocketing drug prices in the u.s.?
a) a quarter of americans can’t afford their prescription drugs.
学习啦在线学习网b) many americans can’t afford to see a doctor when they fall ill.
学习啦在线学习网c) many americans have to go to canada to get medical treatment.
d) the inflation rate has been more than doubled over the years.
27. it can be inferred that america can follow the canadian model and curb its soaring drug
学习啦在线学习网prices by _____.
a) encouraging people to buy prescription drugs online
学习啦在线学习网b) extending medical insurance to all its citizens
c) importing low-price prescription drugs from canada
学习啦在线学习网d) exercising price control on brand-name drugs
28. how do propagandists argue for the u.s. drug pricing policy?
学习啦在线学习网a) low prices will affect the quality of medicines in america.
学习啦在线学习网b) high prices are essential to funding research on new drugs.
c) low prices will bring about the anger of drug manufacturers.
学习啦在线学习网d) high-price drugs are indispensable in curing chronic diseases.
学习啦在线学习网29. what should be the priority of america’s health-care system according to the author?
学习啦在线学习网a) to resolve the dilemma in the health-care system.
学习啦在线学习网b) to maintain america’s lead in the drug industry.
c) to allow the vast majority to enjoy its benefits.
d) to quicken the pace of new drug development.
学习啦在线学习网30. what are american drug companies doing to protect their high profits?
a) labeling drugs bought from canada as being fakes.
学习啦在线学习网b) threatening to cut back funding for new drug research.
c) reducing supplies to uncooperative canadian pharmacies.
d) attributing the raging epidemics to the ineffectiveness of canadian drugs.
学习啦在线学习网passage three
学习啦在线学习网questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
学习啦在线学习网age has its privileges in america. and one of the more prominent of them is the senior
学习啦在线学习网citizen discount. anyone who has reached a certain age-in some cases as low as 55-is
学习啦在线学习网automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial
life. eligibility is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate.
学习啦在线学习网practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many
businesses-as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.
people with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet，
millions of americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent (有支付能力的). businesses that
学习啦在线学习网would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older
学习啦在线学习网americans. the practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy”
学习啦在线学习网are synonymous (同义的).
学习啦在线学习网perhaps that once was true, but today elderly americans as a group have a lower poverty rate
than the rest of the population. to be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many
学习啦在线学习网older americans are poor, but most of them aren’t. it is impossible to determine the impact of the
学习啦在线学习网discounts on individual companies. for many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. but in other
cases the discounts are given at the expense.
学习啦在线学习网directly or indirectly, of younger americans. moreover, they are a direct irritant in what
学习啦在线学习网some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.
generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over social security benefits，[page]
which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. employment is another
sore point, buoyed (支持) by laws and court decisions, more and more older americans are
declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and
promotion opportunities for younger workers.
far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable
economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.
it no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve
priority over those of others. senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people
can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment； and they threaten the creation of a new
myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other
age groups. senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older americans are fighting
against-discrimination by age.
学习啦在线学习网31. we learn from the first paragraph that____.
a) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practice
b) senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent life
c) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderly
d) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount
32. what assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?
a) businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society in return.
学习啦在线学习网b) old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made to society.
c) the elderly, being financially underprivileged，need humane help from society.
d) senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the social security system.
学习啦在线学习网33. according to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will___.
a) make old people even more dependent on society
学习啦在线学习网b) intensify conflicts between the young and the old
c) have adverse financial impact on business companies
d) bring a marked increase in the companies revenues
34. how does the author view the social security system?
a) it encourages elderly people to retire in time.
b) it opens up broad career prospects for young people.
c) it benefits the old at the expense of the young
d) it should be reinforced by laws and court decisions
学习啦在线学习网35. which of the following best summarizes the author’s main argument?
a) senior citizens should fight hard against age discrimination.
学习啦在线学习网b) the elderly are selfish and taking senior discounts for granted.
学习啦在线学习网c) priority should be given to the economic needs of senior citizens.
d) senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination.
passage four
学习啦在线学习网questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
in 1854 my great-grandfather, morris marable, was sold on an auction block in georgia for
＄500. for his white slave master, the sale was just “business as usual.” but to morris marable
学习啦在线学习网and his heirs, slavery was a crime against our humanity. this pattern of human rights violations
against enslaved african-americans continued under racial segregation for nearly another century.
the fundamental problem of american democracy in the 21st century is the problem of “structural
racism” the deep patterns of socio-economic inequality and accumulated disadvantage that are
学习啦在线学习网coded by race, and constantly justified in public speeches by both racist stereotypes and white
学习啦在线学习网indifference. do americans have the capacity and vision to remove these structural barriers that
学习啦在线学习网deny democratic rights and opportunities to millions of their fellow
citizens?
this country has previously witnessed two great struggles to achieve a truly multicultural
democracy.
学习啦在线学习网the first reconstruction (1865-1877) ended slavery and briefly gave black men voting rights,
学习啦在线学习网but gave no meaningful compensation for two centuries of unpaid labor. the promise of “40 acres
and a mule (骡子)”was for most blacks a dream deferred (尚未实现的).
the second reconstruction (1954-1968), or the modern civil rights movement, ended legal [page]
学习啦在线学习网segregation in public accommodations and gave blacks voting rights . but these successes
paradoxically obscure the tremendous human costs of historically accumulated disadvantage that
学习啦在线学习网remain central to black americans’ lives.
学习啦在线学习网the disproportionate wealth that most whites enjoy today was first constructed from
centuries of unpaid black labor. many white institutions, including some leading universities,
学习啦在线学习网insurance companies and banks, profited from slavery. this pattern of white privilege and black
inequality continues today.
demanding reparations (赔偿) is not just about compensation for slavery and segregation. it
is, more important, an educational campaign to highlight the contemporary reality of “racial
学习啦在线学习网deficits” of all kinds, the unequal conditions that impact blacks regardless of class. structural
racism’s barriers include “equity inequity.” the absence of black capital formation that is a direct
consequence of america’s history. one third of all black households actually have negative net
学习啦在线学习网wealth. in 1998 the typical black family’s net wealth was ＄16,400, less than one fifth that of
学习啦在线学习网white families.
black families are denied home loans at twice the rate of whites.
blacks remain the last hired and first fired during recessions.
during the 1990-91 recession. african-americans suffered disproportionately. at coca-cola,
42 percent of employees who lost their jobs were blacks. at sears, 54 percent were black, blacks
have significantly shorter life spans, in part due to racism in the health establishment. blacks are
学习啦在线学习网statistically less likely than whites to be referred for kidney transplants or early-stage cancer
surgery.
36. to the author, the auction of his great-grandfather is a typical example of____.
学习啦在线学习网a) crime against humanity
学习啦在线学习网b) unfair business transaction
学习啦在线学习网c) racial conflicts in georgia
学习啦在线学习网d) racial segregation in america
37. the barrier to democracy in 21st century america is____.
学习啦在线学习网a) widespread use of racist stereotypes
b) prejudice against minority groups
c) deep-rooted socio-economic inequality
d) denial of legal rights to ordinary blacks
学习啦在线学习网38. what problem remains unsolved in the two reconstructions?
a) differences between races are deliberately obscured.
b) the blacks are not compensated for their unpaid labor.
c) there is no guarantee for blacks to exercise their rights.
d) the interests of blacks are not protected by law.
学习啦在线学习网39. it is clear that the wealth enjoyed by most whites____.
a) has resulted from business successes over the years
b) has been accompanied by black capital formation
c) has derived from sizable investments in education
d) has been accumulated from generations of slavery
学习啦在线学习网40. what does the author think of the current situation regarding racial discrimination?
学习啦在线学习网a) racism is not a major obstacle to blacks’ employment.
学习啦在线学习网b) inequality of many kinds remains virtually untouched
c) a major step has been taken towards reparations.
d) little has been done to ensure blacks’ civil rights.
