Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Dear Lee,
As I told you, I’ll be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking on my “children” while I’m away. Like real children, they can be kind of irritating sometimes, but I’m going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they’re getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you don’t watch her, she’ll chew anything, including her sister, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then you’ll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. She’ll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, she’ll wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, don’t I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up.
Regina’s food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Beagles(猎犬) are notorious overeaters, according to her breeder, and I don’t want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share Rex (the King’s) water, but be sure it’s changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which it’s important to romp with her for awhile in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. She’d rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her. I hope you’ll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.
Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws… (letter continues)
The tone of this letter is best described as _____.
A. chatty and humorous B. logical and precise
C. confident and trusting D. humble and preachy
The information in the note is sufficient to determine that there are three animals. They are _____.
A. two cats and a dog B. three dogs
C. a dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal D. a cat, a dog, and a parrot
From the context of the note, it is most likely that the name “Rex” is _____.
A. Spanish B. English C. French D. Latin
If the sitter is to follow the owner’s directions in playing fetch with Regina, at what point will he or she tell Regina “good girl”?
A. Every time Regina goes after the ball. B. After Regina finds the ball.
C. When Regina brings the ball back. D. After Regina drops the ball.
(B)
I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters. There, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a cabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of King George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina.
The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had two shakedowns(临时床铺), on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone chimney was raised outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great buck horns held my father’s rifle when it was not in use. On other horns hung jerked bear’s meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups, and bags of seed, and my father’s best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected corner, several articles of woman’s clothing. These once belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern, which I always wondered. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers.
My father was—how shall I say what he was? To this day I can only surmise many things of him. He was a Scotchman born, and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent. At the time of which I write, my early childhood, he was a frontiersman and hunter. I can see him now, with his hunting shirt and leg gins (绑腿) and moccasins（莫卡辛鞋）; his powder horn, engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife. He was a tall, lean man with a strange, sad face. And he talked little except when he drank too many “horns,” as they were called in that country. These little bad behaviors of my father’s were a permanent source of wonder to me—and, I must say, of delight. They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way, or, what was almost as rare, a neighbor. Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins, listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound, though I understood scarce a word of it.
“Virtuous(有德行的) and vicious(罪恶的) every man must be,
Few in the extreme, but all in a degree.”
The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder. And many the time have I heard the query, at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere, “What Alec Thimble got his larrikin?”
The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant to _____.
A. show the similarity between its owner and other members of the community
B. show how warm the climate was
C. show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the community
D. give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed
Judging by the sentences surrounding it, the underlined word “surmise” in the third paragraph most nearly means _____.
A. to form a negative opinion B. to praise
C. to desire D. to guess
Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many “horns,” or drafts of liquor?
A. The father spoke brilliantly at those times.
B. The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased.
C. These were the only times when the father was not abusive.
D. The boy was allowed to sample the drink himself.
What is the meaning of the lines of verse (诗句) quoted in the passage?
A. Men who pretend to be virtuous are actually vicious.
B. Moderate amounts of virtuousness and viciousness are present in all men.
C. Virtuous men cannot also be vicious.
D. Whether men are virtuous or vicious depends on the difficulty of their circumstances.
(C)
Cultural Center Adds Classes for Young Adults
The Allen dale Cultural Center has expanded its arts program to include classes for young adults. Director Leah Martin announced Monday that beginning in September, three new classes will be offered to the Allen dale community. The course titles will be Yoga for Teenagers; Hip Hop Dance: Learning the Latest Moves; and Creative Journaling for Teens: Discovering the Writer Within. The latter course will not be held at the Allen dale Cultural Center but instead will meet at the Allen dale Public Library.
Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes. Ms. Cousins is an accomplished choreographer (舞蹈教师) as well as an experienced dance educator. She has an MA in dance education from Teachers College, Columbia University, where she wrote a thesis on the pedagogical (教学法的) effectiveness of dance education. The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford. Ms. Milford is the head librarian at the Allen dale Public Library as well as a columnist for the professional journal Library Focus.
The courses are part of the Allen dale Cultural Center’s Project Teen, which was initiated by Leah Martin, Director of the Cultural Center. According to Martin, this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more essential part of the Allen dale community. Over the last several years, the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined. Project Teen is primarily funded by a generous grant from The McGee Arts Foundation, an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults. Martin oversees the Project Teen board, which consists of five board members. Two board members are students at Allen dale’s Brook dale High School; the other three are adults with backgrounds in education and the arts.
The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brook dale High School, and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their journal entries in Pulse, Brook dale’s student literary magazine. Students who complete the hip hop class will be eligible to participate in the Allen dale Review, an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors, musicians, and dancers. All classes are scheduled to begin immediately following school dismissal, and transportation will be available from Brook dale High School to the Allen dale Cultural Center and the Allen dale Public Library. For more information about Project Teen, contact the cultural center’s programming office at 988-0099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog. The office is located on the third floor of the Allen dale Town Hall.
Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Tricia Cousins will teach two of the new classes.
B. The new classes will begin on June 1.
C. People who want a complete fall catalogue should stop by the Allen dale Public Library.
D. The cultural center’s annual concert is called Pulse.
According to Leah Martin, what was the direct cause of Project Teen?
A. Tricia Cousins was available to teach courses in the fall.
B. Community organizations were ignoring local teenagers.
C. The McGee Arts Foundation wanted to be more involved in Allen dale’s arts programming.
D. She wanted to make the cultural center a more important part of the Allen dale community.
Which of the following factors is implied as another reason for Project Teen?
A. The number of people visiting the cultural center has declined over the last several years.
B. The cultural center wanted a grant from The McGee Arts Foundation.
C. The young people of Allen dale have complained about the cultural center’s offerings.
D. Leah Martin thinks classes for teenagers are more important than classes for adults.

A. In time order, from the past to the future.
B. Most important information first, followed by background and details.
C. Background first, followed by the most important information and details.
D. As sensational news, with the most controversial topic first.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”.
Labour’s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.
To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation. (in no more than 8 words)
Automation makes it possible to ________________________________________.
At first, two things people worried about automation were ____________________________.
According to union spokesmen, the workers benefit from automation in terms of ________________________________________________________.
What is the last passage mainly talking about?
________________________________.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)
