ten other new ones were created technologies into universities. In the

same period the of students more than doubled, from 70,000 to than

200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen twenty-one

were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are

private institutions. Each has its governing councils, some local

businessmen and local politicians as a few academics(大学教师).The

state began to give grants to them fifty years , and by 1970 each

university derived nearly all its from state grants. Students have to fees

and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of

the place he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs,

including lodging and unless his parents are .Most take jobs in the

summer about six weeks, but they do not normally do outside during the

academic year. The Department of Education takes for the payment

III. Reading Comprehension

Directions: After reading the following passages, you will find 5

questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement

there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the

correct choice.

Passage One

“I like him the minutes I saw him.” “Before she even said a word, I

knew there was something funny about her.” Such statements are

examples of snap judgments, opinions which are formed suddenly,

seemingly without any sound reason at all. Most people say snap

judgments are unsound or even dangerous .They also admit they often

make snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound. Snap judgments

like “love at first sight” or “instant hate”, if taken seriously, have usually

been considered signs of immaturity or lack of common sense. When

someone has a feeling about someone else, people more often laugh than

pay attention.

Most people think you find out about a person by listening to what

he says over a period of time. Others say “actions speak louder than

words”, usually in relation to keeping promises.

Because people assume “you are what you say you are”, they talk a

lot to become acquainted with each other. Once two people have become

acquainted, they think it was their conversation that gave them their

information about each other. As behavioral sciences develop, however,

researchers find the importance of speech has been overestimated.

Although speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use

other forms of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases,

completely unaware. It is possible we are unconsciously sending

messages with every action, messages that are unconsciously picked up

by others and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and

reactions to them may in part account for our feelings and snap

judgments.

41. According to the first paragraph, a snap judgment is______.

A. a sound opinion although it is formed suddenly

B. an opinion formed suddenly, seemingly without reason.

C. an sound and dangerous opinion formed quickly.

D. an opinion formed with careful thought.

42. People become acquainted with each other through talking because

they believe_____.

A. they are able to judge a person by what he or she says

B. this is the only way to know others

C. they are able to find some shared interest in their talking

D. by doing so they can escape being immature

43. Research shows that, while speech is important in forming

opinions,__________.

A. body language is of little importance

B. we are fully aware of other forms of communication

C. it is impossible to know how much it helps us form judgments

D. its importance is thought to be greater than it really is

44. According to researchers, snap judgments are partly the result

of__________

A. messages we receive unconsciously

B. our conversation with other people

C. being unable to understand oral communication

D. not sending the correct messages consciously or unconsciously

45. According to the passage,_______________.

A. people use snap judgments to laugh at other people

B. people are not talking when they are using body language

C. people use body language to communicate

D. people cannot explain such feelings such as “love at first sight” or

“instant hate”

Passage Two

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed in

the US in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000

Americans---half of that number in the past few years alone. Another

185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are expected to die

within the next year.

Nearly half of those diagnosed with the virus are blacks and Latinos.

Women and youth in rural southern communities now constitute the

fastest growing segment of people with AIDS.

Despite such alarming numbers, the federal and state governments

have been slow in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS. In

place of government inactivity, a number of local organizations have

emerged. One organization, the South Carolina AIDS Education Network,

formed in 1985 to combat the growing number of AIDS cases. Like many

local organizations, this organization suffers from a lack of money,

forcing it to use its resources creatively. To reach more people in the

community, some AIDS educational programs operate out of a beauty

shop.

46. Which of the following statements is true?

A. AIDS was diagnosed in the US in the middle 1970s.

B. All of those diagnosed with HIV virus are blacks and Latinos.

C. The governments are very active in implementing programs to stop the

spread of AIDS.

D. The South Carolina AIDS Education Network suffers from a lack of

money.

47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word implementing ?

A. make up B. carry out C. fight take action

48. These local organizations operate educational programs out of a

beauty shop in order to ____?

A. save money B. save time C. contact more people D. impress people

49. According to the passage, which group of people makes up the fastest

growing group of people with AIDS?

A. Women and youth in urban southern communities.

B. Women and youth in rural southern communities.

C. Women in rural northern communities.

D. Women and youth in rural northern communities.

50. From the passage we can infer that___?

A. Because the government is active in stopping the spread of AIDS,

some local organizations have emerged.

B. Half of 204,000 Americans will die during the next year.

C. The local organization isn’t lacking in money, so it doesn’t have to use

its resources creatively.

D. Although the number of people inflected with AIDS is surprising, the

federal and state government haven’t taken actions in time to carry out

programs to stop the spread of AIDS.

Passage Three

When we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental

picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves.

Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no

relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of

intelligence.

Some recent research by psychologist Fred Fiedler and his

colleagues suggest that both intelligence and experience may be

important --- but just how important depends upon how stressful the work

situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers

obtained measures intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.

Overall , these variables (因素) were not related to one another .

Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good

performance ,as were men with more and less experience , or more and

less stress with their bosses .However, when you look separately at those

men who have high stress with their bosses, the picture changes.

In high stress situations, there was no association between

intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and

performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to

“know the ropes”. In low stress situations, the findings were just the

reverse: Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence

was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in

leadership.

A study of fire fighters’ performance under high and low stress

conditions also found experienced officers performed best under

situations of stress.

None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a

supervisory (管理的) job , you probably found that at least as much

energy went into handling people as went into handling the job itself.

Tests of intelligence at least the ones we have now do not predict success

in handling people.

51. The study of leadership finds________.

A. The leaders are older, smarter and wiser than others.

B. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with intelligence.

C. The skill as a leader has no relationship with intelligence.

D. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with experience.

52. According to the researcher Fred Fiedler, the importance of

intelligence and experience_______.

A. depends on how stressful the work situation is.

B. depends on what kind of task is to be accomplished

C. depends on situation and task.

D. depends on leadership.

53. The relationship among intelligence, experience, performance and

stress is ___.

A. related B. not related C. important D. less importance

54. The phrase “know the ropes” (paragraph 4) means _____.

A. To know the rules.

B. Tie the ropes together.

C. Cut the ropes.

D. Not to know the rules.

55. Intelligence is more useful than on other occasions in leadership

_______. A. when experienced officers performed best under situations

of stress. B. when you have ever had a supervisory job C. when you have

much energy. D. when things are going well.
