Part III Reading Comprehension ( 30 minutes, 20 points)

Passage 1

It may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. "It's a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs--some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.

Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (視覺的) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child's play.

“I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently,” said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it's a perfect time for him to learn.”

Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won’t understand them,” said parent Foster Gibbons

Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. Even when the students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own. ( 359 )

A. for children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign language

B. to expose children to a foreign language after they can speak

C. to combine language lessons with sports games

D. for children to learn several languages at the same time

Passage 2

The differences in living standards around the world are vast. In 1993, the average American had an income of about $25,000. In the same year, the average Mexican earned $7,000, and the average Nigerian earned $1,500. Not surprisingly, this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of life. Changes in living standards over time are also large. In the United States, incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year (after adjusting for changes in the cost of living). At this rate, average income doubles every 35 years. In some countries, economic growth has been even more rapid. In Japan, for instance, average income has doubled in the past 20 years, and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years.

What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time? The answer is surprisingly simple. Almost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries' productivity—that is, the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker's time. In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time, most people enjoy a high standard of living; in nations where workers are less productive, most people must endure a more meager existence. Similarly, the growth rate of a nation's productivity determines the growth rate of its average income.

The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple, but its implications are far-reaching. If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards, other explanations must be of secondary importance. For example, people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past century. Yet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity.

The relationship between productivity and living standards also has great implications for public policy. When thinking about how any policy will affect living standards, the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and services. To improve living standards, policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated, have the tools needed to produce goods and services, and have access to the best available technology.

46. Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?

A. Mexico. B. The United States C. Japan D. South Korea.

47. The Word “meager'’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”

A.modest B. poor C.meaningless D.plentiful

48. What is the most important factor that leads to the rise in living standards of average people?

A.Labor unions B.Minimum-wage laws C.Rising productivity. D.Favorable public policy

49. The study of the relationship between productivity and living standards is significant that_______________.

A.it calls policymakers’ attention to a qualified work force

B.it encourages workers to get better education

C.it helps improve the workers’ ability to produce goods ands services

D.it enables policymakers to access the latest technology

50. The passage mainly discusses______

A.the differences in average income among countries B.the relationship between productivity and living standards

C.the causes of the rise in living standards D.the importance of raising productivity

Passage 3

Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly underemphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.

Research experience is an essential element of hiring and promotion at a research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research and that presents a problem.

Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment in the part of the best students, exactly those for whom the system should present the greatest challenges. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.

As modern science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professor: one is the time needed to keep on with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists requires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually “made” in the elementary schools, scientists can be “l(fā)ost” by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research, but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. The title of professor should be given only to those who profess, and it is perhaps time for universities to reserve it for those willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professors unwilling to teach can be called “distinguished research investigators” or something else.

The pace of modern science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and a great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and research simply do not understand the system but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities. ( 389 )

51. What idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph?

A. It is wrong to overestimate the importance of teaching. B. Teaching and research are contradictory to each other.

C. Research can never be emphasized too much.

D. The relationship between teaching and research should not be simplified.

52. In academic promotions research universities still attach more importance to research partly because ______.

A. research improves the quality of teaching

B. students who want to be challenged appreciate research professors

C. it is difficult to evaluate teaching quality objectively

D. professors with achievements in research are usually responsible and tough

53. According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A. Distinguished professors at research universities should concentrate on research only.

B. The separation of teaching from research can lower the quality of future scientists.

C. It is of utmost importance to improve teaching in elementary schools in order to train new scientists.

D. The rapid developments of modern science makes it impossible to combine teaching with research.

54. The title of professor should be given only to those who, first and foremost, do ______.

A. teaching B. field work C. scientific research D. investigation

55. The phrase “the problem” (Para. 5, Line 3) refers to ______.

A. raising the status of teaching B. the combination of teaching with research

C. the separation of teaching from research D. improving the status of research

Passage 4

There are a number of formats for reporting research, such as articles to appear in journals, reports addressed to funding agencies, theses or dissertations as part of the requirements for university degrees, and papers to be presented at conferences. These formats differ from one another mostly in their purposes and the audiences whom they address. We will now briefly describe them.

The journal article is a way of reporting research for professional journals or edited collections. The research is reporting in a brief, yet informative way, focusing mostly on the main features of the research such as the purpose, review of the literature (often referred to as "background"), procedures used for carrying out the research accompanied by tables, charts, and graphs, and interpretations of the results (often referred to as discussion).

The content and emphasis of the journal article will vary according to the intended readers (research or practitioners) and it is important for the researcher to be aware of the background and interest of the readers of the journal. Articles intended to be read by practitioners will emphasize the practical implications and recommendations of the research, while articles intended to be read by researchers will describe in detail the method used to collect data, the construction of data collection procedures, and the techniques used for analyzing the data. It is important for the novice researcher to be aware of the fact that articles submitted to journals go through a process of evaluation by experts who make a judgment and recommend whether they should be published or not.

The thesis or dissertation is a format for reporting research which graduate students write as part of fulfilling the requirements for an advanced academic degree. The student is expected to describe in great detail all the phases of the research so it can be examined and evaluated carefully by the reader. Thus the thesis or dissertation includes the purpose and significance of the study, the rationale, a thorough review of the literature, detailed information as to the research tools and the procedures involved in their development, a description of data analysis and the results, and an interpretation of the results in the form of conclusions, implications, and recommendation. This detailed description of the process of the research is needed to provide the professors with an indication of the student's ability to carry out research.

The conference paper is a way of reporting research at conferences, seminars and colloquia. At such meetings research papers are usually presented orally. They are similar to the research article since research is reported in a concise, yet informative way, focusing on the most essential elements of the research. Handouts and transparencies can also accompany the presentations. As with the research article, here too, the content and emphasis of the oral report will depend to a large extent on the type of audience present at the meeting, and whether they are researchers or practitioners ( 486 )

56. The best title for this passage could be ______

A. Types of Research Reports B. Types of Journal Articles

C. Writing of research Reports D. Writing of Different Articles

57. The common aspect for the journal articles, theses and conference papers lies in that

A. they are all for the practitioners B. they are all to be read by researchers

C. they are all for being published D. they are all forms of reporting research

58. We can distinguish those research reports from each other mainly through __

A. their writing style and length B. their aims and possible audiences

C. their presented places and time D. their content and purposes

59. Which of the following statements is not mentioned in this passage?

A. Both journal articles and conference papers are reported in a brief and informative way

B. All the theses or dissertations and conference papers are reported in spoken languages.

C. Both the journal articles and conference papers are influenced greatly by the intended receivers.

D. The various formats of research reports may be presented in different ways.

60. How can a professor evaluate a student's capability of implementing the research.*

A. By concentrating on the main factors like the purpose, background, procedures and discussion:

B. By emphasizing the practical implications and recommendations of the research.

C. By focusing on the detailed description of the process of the research such as the tools, process the process of data analysis, the results, and conclusions etc.

D. By noticing the detailed method used to collect the data, the construction of the data collection procedures, the techniques for analyzing the date and results etc.

Paper Two

Part IV Reading and Answering Questions (25 minutes, 10 points)

There is a difference between the state and the law, and I want to describe how, in one crucial sense, family law has" left us alone" too much in the last generation. Family law can regulate family life by answering two very different questions: (1) Should the law define the kinds of relationship and moral commitments that qualify to be protected as "families"? (2) Should the state be allowed to intervene in ongoing family life?

Recent family law has been saying no to the first question and yes to the second. Thus the trend in most countries today is toward letting people decide for themselves how and when to form and dissolve marriages and child-care ties. The law imposes few moral commitments on these laissez-faire relationships, but then it encourages broad state intrusion when trying to bandage the wounds among the personal causalities within the family anarchy it has created. By giving higher priority to personal convenience than to family obligation, this legal approach undermines family member's entire sense of commitment and belonging to each other.

As a result, we are seeing more single parents than ever before, more illegitimacy, more unmarried cohabitation, and fewer parents really committed to their children. Moreover, many family members now believe their most basic right is to be left alone not left alone by the state, but by each other, even in the family. Indeed, many are quite willing to invoke state power to protect themselves from other family members.

Questions :

What role should the family law play in protecting the family institution? Is the writer satisfied with the status quo of the family institution? Why or why not?

For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of information because people have different interests. Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including public figures. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair to the famous and mislead the public.

For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to develop other interests.

參考譯文：What is the significance of life? Is there any criterion for its measurement? Difficult as it is to advance an absolute one, it will not be so to judge the very meaning of one’s existence generally from whether he is serious about life and what his attitudes are towards work and life.Throughout the ages, all people of accomplishment take their lives seriously. As long as they are alive, they would rather devote themselves to more work and study than let a single minute slip by in vain. And the same is true of the common labourers as well as the great statesmen and thinkers in our country.

翻譯答案：

因為有些人對于公眾人物的私生活十分著迷，所以有些媒體就專做這個主題。通過購買針對歌迷或影迷所發(fā)行的雜志和觀看電視節(jié)目的娛樂新聞，就能滿足這些歌迷和影迷的好奇心。一般媒體應(yīng)該提供所有類型的資訊，因為人們的興趣各不相同。此外，老是強調(diào)名人的私生活，會使人們比平常更注意這些事情。或許最重要的是，媒體應(yīng)該尊重個人的隱私，包括公眾人物的隱私。他們可能選擇公開露面或上傳播媒體，但那并不表示大眾有權(quán)知道他們的一切。此外，許多關(guān)于名人的報導(dǎo)并不真實;那些報導(dǎo)只不過是被用來增加雜志銷售量以及其他媒體業(yè)績的八卦傳聞。那些不實的報導(dǎo)不僅對名人不公平，也會誤導(dǎo)大眾。

基于這些理由，我認(rèn)為媒體應(yīng)該多注意公眾人物私生活以外的事情。如此一來，媒體就能吸引更廣大的受眾群，并且鼓勵人們培養(yǎng)其他的興趣。
