PART Ⅳ

READING COMPREHENSION

(45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.

Passage One

The scandal at Harvard University in which authorities are investigating whether nearly half of a class of 279 students cheated on a take-home final exam raises a number of questions, including this: Does everybody cheat?

Dozens of Harvard University students may have wrongly shared answers on a final exam, an “unprecedented” case of suspected academic dishonesty.Sanctions for students found guilty of cheating include leaving Harvard for a year.

Harvard, like most U.S. colleges and universities, has never had an honor code, although the Associated Press reports that it is giving “renewed consideration” to the idea as a result of the scandal.

So, does everybody cheat?

Not quite, but studies show that most students cheat at one time or another.

A survey of 40,000 high school students found that more than half of teenagers said they had cheated on a test in the previous year, and 34 percent said they had done it more than twice. One-third of the students said that they had plagiarized an assignment with the help of the Internet.

The consequences for the country may be significant. A 2009 study about the relationship between high school attitudes and behavior and later adult conduct found that people who cheated on exams in high school two or more times are more likely to be dishonest later in life than those who never cheated in high school.

Meanwhile, we’ve seen successive scandals involving cheating by the adults in school—teachers and principals—as a result of the growing importance of standardized tests. As the stakes associated with the scores have risen—the tests are used to gauge not only student achievement, but also teacher effectiveness,school and district quality—more people have taken desperate measures to ensure better scores. Not an excuse, just an explanation.

Modern technology makes cheating much easier. Cheating cases have been documented in 30 states over the past three academic years. Some students,including those at virtual schools, sometimes put entire quizzes on the Internet,and the same exams are used repeatedly by teachers.

Back at Harvard, a culture of cheating persists. “There’s a lot of pressure internally and externally to succeed at Harvard, and when kids who are not used to failing feel these things, it can really bend their ethics in ways I didn’t expect to see,” author Eric Kester told ABC News.

51. The word “unprecedented” is used in Paragraph two to emphasize that______.

A. there had never been any cheating at Harvard before

B. such cases of cheating had been left unreported by the media

C. such large-scale cheating was something unheard of at Harvard

D. the causes of these cases of cheating had remained a mystery

52. An honor code is probably______.

A. a person who decides on the penalty to an offender

B. a set of rules or principles to deter academic dishonesty

C. a series of codes for various test papers at a school

D. a role model well-known for his honesty and diligence

53. The survey of 40,000 high school students found that______.

A. the majority of these teenagers had cheated on many tests

B. one in three students had cheated on only one test

C. at least half of these students had committed cheating

D. all these teenagers had cheated with the help of the Internet

54. According to the 2009 study, cheating on a test in high school______.

A. leaves one prone to major crimes in adulthood

B. increases the chance of dishonesty in later life

C. has no effect on one’s behavior in adulthood

D. is no longer regarded as shameful in adulthood

55. Which of the following is true about teachers and principals according to this passage?

A. They can benefit from high scores of students.

B. They seldom punish the offenders on a test.

C. They are reluctant to become more effective.

D. They have never used standardized tests.

56. The central idea of this passage is that______.

A. students at Harvard are under great pressure

B. cheating has negative impact on one’s career

C. high schools and colleges encourage cheating

D. cheating is quite universal and commonplace

Passage Two

The digital attack of e-books and Amazon-style e-tailers has put bookstores at risk. Digital books are expected to outsell print titles by 2015 in Britain and even sooner in America. With this change, physical bookstores appear to be on borrowed time. So, what is the future of the bookstore? This is a burning question on everyone’s lips at a recent event at Foyles’s flagship bookshop in London.

To remain successful, a bookstore must improve “the experience of buying books,” says Alex Lifschutz, an architect. He suggests an array of approaches:“small, quiet spaces sheltered with books; larger spaces where one can dwell and read; other larger but still intimate spaces where one can hear talks from authors about books.” Exteriors must buzz with activity, entrances must be full of eyecatching presentations. The trend for not only incorporating cafés in bookstores but also placing them on the top floor makes good sense. This draws shoppers upwards floor-by-floor, which is bound to encourage people to linger longer and spend more.

There are plenty of ways to delight customers. The consensus is that bookstores need to become cultural destinations where people are prepared to pay good money to hear a concert, see a film or attend a talk. The programming will have to be intelligent and the space comfortable. As shoppers often browse in shops only to buy online later, some wonder whether it makes sense to charge people for the privilege.

A more attractive idea might be a membership scheme like those offered by museums and other cultural venues. Unlike reward cards, which offer discounts and other nominal benefits, a club membership could provide priority access to events and a private lounge where members can eat, drink and meet authors before events. Different memberships could tailor to the needs of children and students.

To survive and thrive, bookstores should celebrate the book in all its forms:rare, second-hand, digital, self-printed and so on. Readers should have the option of buying e-books in-store, and budding authors should have access to selfprinting book machines, an important source of revenue in America.

The bookstore of the future will have to work hard. Service will be knowledgeable and personalized, the inventory expertly selected, spaces welldesigned and the cultural events appealing. Whether bookstores are up to the challenge is not clear. The fate of these stores is a cliff-hanger.

57. The first paragraph implies that without effective countermeasures______.

A. books on physics will die out soon

B. traditional bookstores will be short-lived

C. no bookstores can survive digitalization

D. printed books will outnumber e-books

58. The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.

A. the layout and atmosphere will be vital for bookstores

B. advertising is critical to sales at future bookstores

C. future bookstores should provide quick services

D. bookstores should provide drinks on each floor

59. All of the following are approaches suggested to boost sales EXCEPT______.

A. making bookstores recreational

B. adopting the membership scheme

C. issuing reward cards to customers

D. widening the range of services

60. The underlined word “celebrate” as is used in this passage probably means______.

A. commemorate

B. observe

C. spend

D. display

61. The last paragraph of this passage is concerned with______.

A. the easily achievable goal of future bookstores

B. current difficulties facing bookstores

C. great opportunities for various bookstores

D. challenges facing bookstores of the future

62. This passage can be best entitled______.

A. E-Publish or Perish

B. The Future of Bookstore

C. Lower Value of Physical Books

D. Never Too Old to Read

Passage Three

Everyone knows about straight-A students. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull and diligent students, their noses always stuck in a book.How, then, do we account for Paul Melendres? Melendres, now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He joined the soccer and basketball teams of his school, exhibited at the science fair, was chosen for the National Honor Society and he achieved straight A’s in all his classes.

How do super-achievers like Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer.“Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg,professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. “Knowing how to make the most of your innate abilities counts for more. Infinitely more.”

Hard work isn’t the whole story, either. “It’s not how long you sit there with the books open,” said one of the many A students we interviewed. “It’s what you do while you’re sitting.” Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.

The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.

Set priorities. Top students brook no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.

Study anywhere—or everywhere. A cross-country runner who worked out every day used the time to memorize biology terms. Another student posted a vocabulary list by the medicine cabinet and learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.

Get organized. In high school, McCray ran track, played rugby and was in the band and orchestra. “I was so busy. I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says.

Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some worked late at night when the house was quiet. Others awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.

63. Which of the following statements might Herbert Walberg agree with?

A. A super-achiever has to devote all his spare time to study.

B. High IQ alone may not be the guarantee of top grades.

C. Innate abilities do not make much difference to your grades.

D. The brighter the students, the greater their chances of success.

64. In Paragraph three, the author stresses the importance of______.

A. discipline

B. practice

C. carefulness

D. efficiency

65. “Top students brook no intrusions on study time.” (Para. 5) means that they______.

A. consider study more important than anything else

B. never ask any questions while studying

C. don’t allow other things to interrupt their study

D. don’t want other people to tell them how to study

66. What tips might McCray offer to other students?

A. Study anywhere at any time.

B. Learn as much as you can.

C. Put things in their right places.

D. Join a school organization.

67. What can we learn about study times from the last paragraph?

A. Study times can be adjusted every day.

B. Study times vary from person to person.

C. There are no best study times for a student.

D. Study times are crucial for academic excellence.

68. What is the topic of the passage?

A. Secrets of top students.

B. Balancing study and play.

C. Hard work in high schools.

D. Grades and education.

Passage Four

Cleaning clothes usually requires soap and water to remove stains and smells,and a tumble in the dryer or an afternoon on the clothesline to dry. The time and energy needed to turn a heap of dirty laundry into a pile of clean clothes might make people wish for clothes that just clean themselves.

That wish is a step closer to coming true. Recent experiments show that cotton fabric coated with the right mixture of chemicals can dissolve stains and remove odors after only a few hours in the sun. “The technology can be applied to all kinds of fabrics and their related products,” says materials scientist Mingce Long. He helped develop the treated cotton with his colleague Deyong Wu.

The handy fabric gets its self-cleaning abilities from a chemical mixture that coats the cotton threads. The coating includes substances known as photocatalysts, which trigger chemical reactions in light. One of those photocatalysts, called titanium dioxide ( 二氧化钛), helps sunscreen block the sun. Another, called silver iodide ( 碘化银), is used for developing photographs.

Researchers have previously shown that titanium dioxide mixtures could remove stains in clothes—but with exposure to ultraviolet, not visible, light. (The waves of ultraviolet light are more energetic and shorter than those of visible light.) Other studies have demonstrated that silver iodide can speed up chemical reactions in sunlight.

“We knew that self-cleaning cotton fabrics with titanium dioxide coating had already been developed, but they cannot work, or they work weakly, under sunlight,” Long says. “If we want to use the fabrics in daily life, we must develop cotton that cleans itself under daylight.” Long and Wu created just such a fabric,working for years to perfect the recipe for a liquid dip that left cotton coated with the titanium dioxide mixture. Then they added particles of silver iodide, which boosted the fabric’s self-cleaning ability in the sun. In laboratory tests, their creation was nearly seven times better at removing stains than titanium dioxide alone.

The scientists can’t start selling their self-cleaning cotton just yet; they still need to make sure the coated cotton won’t harm those who wear it. Although titanium dioxide is used in some foods, recent experiments have shown that it can cause health problems if it gets in the lungs. So before the material can be worn, scientists need to find a way to make it safe.

69. The materials developed by Mingce Long can clean themselves by______.

A. being exposed only to ultraviolet light

B. being exposed to sunlight for a few hours

C. being hung in high-temperature environments

D. being soaked in a mixture of chemicals

70. The research conducted by Long and his colleagues______.

A. is based on previous studies

B. is pioneer work in a new field

C. poses a challenge to other scientists

D. has caused a debate among scientists

71. Long’s major concern over the self-cleaning materials is whether______.

A. it is safe to wear them

B. it is cost-effective to produce them

C. their cleaning ability can last

D. their cleaning effect is satisfactory

72. We can learn from the laboratory tests that their research______.

A. has left much to be desired

B. can be considered a success

C. will yield huge economic benefits

D. has yet to produce convincing results

73. It can be learned from the last paragraph that self-cleaning clothes______.

A. will soon be put into the market

B. prove to be better than expected

C. are still at the experimental stage

D. may produce more harms than benefits

74. What is the major topic of the passage?

A. The necessity of self-cleaning clothes.

B. The application of self-cleaning technology.

C. The effectiveness of self-cleaning fabrics.

D. The development of self-cleaning materials.

Passage Five

Long before the iPhone made him the god of gadgets, Steve Jobs launched his tech career by hacking land lines to make free long-distance calls. Bob Dylan’s band, the Golden Chords, lost a high-school talent competition to a tap dancing act. Behind every success story is an embarrassing first effort, a stumble, a setback or a radical change of direction. It’s these first clumsy steps on the road to fame and fortune that fascinate writer Seth Fiegerman, who edits the blog OpeningLines.org, a collection of case studies on the origins of famous careers.

“When you see someone who’s very successful, you almost imagine that it was an inevitable conclusion, that they’re a genius, that they were destined for great things,” says Fiegerman, who began the blog in 2009, after an early setback in his own career. “I think the big takeaway is failure and setbacks, far from being uncommon, are in many ways essential.”

After Fiegerman, now 26, graduated from New York University in 2008,he landed a first job as a research editor at Playboy magazine. But he had worked there for just half a year when management announced that most of the staff would soon be laid off. As unemployment loomed, Fiegerman felt adrift. He began to explore the Playboy archives, discovering a valuable wealth of interviews with celebrities ranging from Marlon Brando to Malcolm X. Many of these successful people shared tales of their less promising early days, and Fiegerman quickly became obsessed with these origin stories.

He began reading biographies with great interest and requesting interviews with writers and musicians he admired, using the blog to document the fits and starts that began the careers of the famous and the infamous. Success, he learned, was less a matter of innate talent and more the product of perseverance,a willingness to stumble and stand up again and again.

“You kind of assume that great geniuses are like Mozart,” Fiegerman says. But few successful people were children of highly unusual talent and these children don’t necessarily find success. “Most people don’t stick to it.”

Like his subjects, Fieger man found that his own early setback wasn’t permanent. He landed a new job in journalism, and today he works at the tech news website Mashable, covering, appropriately enough, start-up businesses.While he has less time for the blog, he hopes his collection of origin stories will help other young people realize it’s OK to fail.

75. Steve Jobs and Bob Dylan are mentioned to show that______.

A. a good beginning is important for a successful career

B. successful people share certain good qualities

C. setbacks are nothing unusual in successful careers

D. success is hard to achieve for most ordinary people

76. The underlined word “takeaway” (Para. 2) probably means “ ”.

A. some food to be eaten elsewhere

B. a barrier to a successful career

C. a point to be remembered

D. a threat to your good health

77. Fiegerman became interested in the origin stories______.

A. after he set up a news website

B. when he was creating his blog

C. after he was laid off by a magazine

D. while he was working for a magazine

78. According to Fiegerman, which of the following is critical to success?

A. Intelligence.

B. Persistence.

C. Opportunity.

D. Patience.

79. Fiegerman’s purpose in creating the blog is to______.

A. encourage people to see failure in perspective

B. share the success stories of famous people

C. advise people on how to start new businesses

D. introduce new strategies to deal with setbacks

80. Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A. All Roads Lead to Rome

B. Tips for a Successful Career

C. Success Is Not Everything

D. Failure Is the Mother of Success

Academic integrity essentially means “intellectual honesty”: honesty in the use of information, in presentation of facts, in formulating arguments, in acknowledging references or earlier work, and in other activities related to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. It is a core principle that underlies how we behave in a community of inquiry. Members of an academic community are entitled to a wide range of freedom in the pursuit of scholarly interests.With that freedom, however, comes the responsibility to uphold the high ethical standards of academic conduct. Academic integrity is defined as a commitment to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Every participant in a community of inquiry has the obligation to support endeavors to promote academic integrity.
