Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. 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.

Passage One

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

In the United States, it is important to be on time for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的)university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.

In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

11. The American professor studied the Brazilian students’ behavior because ________.

A) he felt angry at the students’ rudeness

B) he felt puzzled at the students’ being late

C) he wanted to collect data for his research

D) he wanted to make students come on time later

12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

A) Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunch appointment.

B) Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.

C) Brazilian students don’t mind staying late after class.

D) Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.

13. What can we infer from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation?

A) Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.

B) American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.

C) Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.

D) Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.

14. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil, ________.

A) it is acceptable for professors to be late for class

B) it is rude to keep a professor staying after class

C) it is important to arrive at the appointed time

D) it is normal for students to leave during lectures

15. What does this passage tell us?

A) People learn the importance of time from the country in which they live.

B) The importance of being on time differs among cultures.

C) Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.

D) It is important to come to class on time in Brazil.

Passage Two

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Website. Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.

The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers (黑客) have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.

Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer (批發(fā)商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US $ 157,828 to get back the information.

Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.

Ask about your credit-card firm's online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US$ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.

If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start http://--the extra "s" stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.

Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.

Passage Three

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Many Chinese high school students are tired of their parents’ nagging(嘮叨). They think their parents’ high expectations are burdens. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, Korea and the US, who also find their parents annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese parents. 62% of Chinese fathers and 66% of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of four countries. Japanese mothers top the list with 76% having high expectations, while 70% of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids.

The survey also found that Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. They blame them less, and also receive less criticism than those from the other three countries. However, satisfaction doesn’t mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don’t feel able to express their unhappiness to them,

Results from the survey show that in spite of different cultural backgrounds, generation gaps exist in many countries other than China. It’s even bigger elsewhere. It is said that Chinese parents are used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts, which makes their children not want to talk openly with them. This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other.

Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselves and others in the world. US students showed more “individuality,” with 88% agreeing that “people should follow their own interests instead of those of others”. Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.

21. The text is mainly about________.

A) the unlucky school students’ troubles

B) the different generation gaps in different countries

C) the comparison of students’ family situations in different countries

D) the relationship between children and parents

22. Japanese students think it most troublesome that their parents______.

A) often compare them with other children

B) have the highest expectations

C) are not satisfied with them

D) seldom talk openly with them

23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A) Chinese teens are happiest at home for they are most satisfied with their parents.

B) Chinese parents blame or criticize their children less and praise them more.

C) Generation gap in China is much bigger than that in other countries.

D) Chinese parents don’t often talk openly with their children.

24. According to the author, who are the most independent?

A) American students

B) Students from Japan

C) Students in Korea

D) Chinese students

25. From the passage we can infer that higher expectations of their children are ________.

A) not local terms

B) not universal

C) Chinese characters

D) characters of Asian people

Passage Four

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Which are more likely to have with you at any given moment — your cell-phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.

In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.

Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal — a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cell-phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cell-phone service providers have formed a joint venture that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”

The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone.” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”

Are you still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.

26. What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?

A) The expansion of cell-phone companies.

B) The boom of pay-by-phone business.

C) The disappearance of credit cards.

D) The increase of Starbucks sales.

27. The NFC technology can be used to ________.

A) ensure the safety of shoppers

B) collect transaction fees easily

C) make purchase faster and simpler

D) improve the quality of cell-phones

28. Three cell-phone service providers form a joint venture to ________.

A) strengthen their relationship

B) get a share in the payment industry

C) sell more cell-phones

D) test the NFC technology

29. The word “transaction” in paragraph 3 most probably means _______.

A) a chain of stores

B) a shift from one port to another

C) a message sent from one place to another

D) a piece of business

30. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phone?

A) Stop the functioning of their phones.

B) Set up a password.

C) Get all the money out of their phones.

D) Cancel large purchases.

Part IV Translation (20 minutes)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to translate the following paragraph into Chinese.

To take care of old parents is a traditional Chinese culture which lasts for thousands of years. Recently, a Chinese new law requires that all adults should regularly visit and take care of their parents. If they don't do so, they break the law. The new law, however, has given rise to a public debate on whether it is possible. Many people doubt whether the law is enforceable, because it does not clarify how often people have to visit their parents. In addition, working people who live far away from their parents will find it difficult to take leave to go home regularly. Even so, some scholars have praised the law because it is aimed at arousing people's awareness of loving the elderly and reminding them to always keep their obligations in mind and visit their parents frequently.

照顧老年父母是延續(xù)幾千年的傳統(tǒng)中國文化。最近中國新頒布的一項法律規(guī)定：成年人必須經(jīng)常探望并照顧父母。如果不這么做，就等于違法。然而，這項新法律卻引發(fā)了一場公眾辯論，討論其是否切實可行。很多人懷疑這項法律是否具有強制性，因為它并未明確規(guī)定人們必須看望父母的頻率。另外，對于遠離父母的上班族來說，經(jīng)常請假回家很困難。盡管如此，一些學者仍然對其加以稱贊，因為它旨在喚醒人們關(guān)愛老人的意識并提醒人們時刻謹記自己的義務(wù)經(jīng)常探望父母。

Online Learning or Offline Learning

In this day and age, online learning has become a popular method for students to obtain knowledge and pursue their degree. And with the ever-increasing use of computers in peoples’ lives, some people suggest that online learning will replace traditional learning in the classroom.

No one will deny that online learning helps improve learning efficiency for it is convenient compared to traditional classroom learning. With the internet, you can start your learning anytime and anywhere. You will not miss any class since the instruction on the interne is available all the time. However, learning is a process of interaction. Through group discussion or seminar, students can share different ideas. Moreover, by face-to-face teaching, you can also improve your communication skills and ensure the accuracy of your answers.

In my opinion, both online learning and offline learning have their benefits and drawbacks. And what people need to do is just making a balance between these two ways of learning so as to make a full use of them. In fact no one can replace another successfully.
