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

5

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

To improve everything from fuel economy to performance, automotive researchers are

turning to ―mechatronics‖, the integration of mechanical systems with new electronic components

and software control. Because lives will depend on such mechatronic systems, Rolf Isermann, an

engineer in Germany, is using software that can identify and correct flaws in real time to make

sure the technology functions perfectly.

In order to do mechatronic braking right, Isermann’s group is developing software that tracks

data from three sensors: one detects the flow of electrical current to the brake actuator; a second

tracks the actuator’s position; and the third measures its clamping force. Isermann’s software

analyzes those numbers to detect faults and flashes a dashboard warning light, so the driver can

get the car serviced before the fault leads to failure.

―I think people are now becoming aware electronic devices are safer than mechanical ones, for

you can build in fault diagnoses and fault tolerance‖ says Karl Hedrick, a mechanical engineer.

Isermann is also working to make engines run cleaner. He is developing software that detects

ignition problems. Because it’s not practical to have a sensor inside a combustion chamber,

Isermann’s system relies on data from sensors that measure oxygen levels in exhaust and track the

speed of the mechanism that delivers the engine’s force to wheels. Tiny fluctuations in this speed

accompanied by changes in emissions reveal failures of ignition, when the software can warn the

driver or automatically fix the problem.

Partnerships with manufacturing companies merge the basic research with industry’s

development of such technologies in actual cars. Isermann says that ―80 to 90 percent of the

innovations in engines and cars these days are due to electronics and mechatronics.‖ Mechatronic

systems were found mainly in aircraft and industrial equipment or in small precision components.

But new applications in cars have increased the number of groups working on mechatronics. The

trend has been fueled by falling prices for microprocessors and sensors, stricter vehicle-emissions

regulations, and automakers’ willingness to enhance their vehicles with additional comfort and

performance features.

Although the luxury market looms largest today - new high-end models from BMW contain

over 70 microprocessors that control more than 120 tiny motors - mechatronics will be moving

into wider car markets within five years. With software like Isermann’s on board, the electronic

veins of these new driving machines should be as sturdy and reliable as steel.

51. This passage is intended to describe the______.

A. various definitions of mechatronics

B. application of mechatronics to automobiles

C. problems with quality of cars and solutions

D. partnerships between engineers and auto makers

52. The underlined words ―fuel economy‖ in the first paragraph probably mean______.

A. fuel efficiency B. the price of gasoline C. oil economy D. economic growth

A. has led to a decline in the prices of sensors

B. is attracting fewer companies than before

C. is unlikely to make cars more comfortable

D. will be used more widely in auto manufacture

55. New models of BMW are mentioned to suggest that ______.

A. BMW cars are regarded as luxuries

B. mechatronics-based cars are quite fast

C. mechatronics is essential to BMW cars

D. mechatronics will raise the price of cars

A. suspicion B. rejection C. criticism D. welcome

Passage Two

Goldberg, a plant molecular biologist at the University of California, expresses despair at the

persistent need to confront what he sees as false fears over the health risks of genetically modified

(GM) crops. Particularly frustrating to himis that this debate should have ended decades ago, when

researchers produced a stream of compelling evidence: ―Today we’re facing the same objections

we faced 40 years ago.‖

Across campus, David Williams, a cellular biologist, has the opposite complaint. ―A lot of

naive science has been involved in pushing this technology,‖ he says. ―Thirty years ago we didn’t

know that when you throw any gene into a different genome, the genome reacts to it. But now

anyone in this field knows the genome is not a static environment. Inserted genes can be

transformed by several different means, and it can happen generations later.‖ The result, he insists,

could very well be potentially toxic plants slipping through testing.

Williams concedes that he is among a tiny minority of biologists raising sharp questions

about the safety of GM crops. But he says this is only because the field of plant molecular biology

is protecting its interests. Funding, much of it from the companies that sell GM seeds, heavily

favors researchers who are exploring ways to further the use of genetic modification in agriculture.

He says that biologists who point out health or other risks associated with GM crops—who merely

report or defend experimental findings that imply there may be risks—find themselves the focus

of vicious attacks on their credibility, which leads them to keep quiet.

Whether Williams is right or wrong, one thing is undeniable: despite overwhelming evidence

that GM crops are safe, the debate over their use isgrowing louder. Proponents say the technology

is the only way to feed a warming, increasingly populous world. Critics claim we interfere with

7

nature at our cs would argue that this debate is a good thing—that we cannot be too

cautious when coping with the genetic basis of food supply. To researchers such as Goldberg,

however, the persistence of fears about GM foods is nothing short of irritating. ―Despite millions

of genetic experiments involving every type of organism on earth,‖ he says, ―and people eating

billions of meals without a problem, we’ve gone back to being ignorant.‖

So who is right: advocates of GM or critics? Only time can answer you.

57. Goldberg is convinced that GM crops______.

A. pose a risk to health B. are quite safe to eat

C. should be subject to criticism D. are worth questioning

58. David Williams raises concerns about ______.

A. the potential toxicity of GM crops

B. the reliability of genome research

C. the future development of genetics

D. the verified toxicity of GM crops

59. Paragraph Three is focused on ______.

A. how biology companies protect their own interests

B. why Williams raises sharp questions about GM crops

C. who points out problems associated with GM crops

D. what the majority of biologists think of GM crops

60. It can be concluded from Paragraph Four that ______.

A. critics of GM foods outnumber proponents

B. more people will stop consuming GM foods

C. the debate over the use of GM foods will continue

D. people are ignorant of the safety of GM foods

61. The underlined words in Paragraph Four probably mean ______.

A. far from irritating B. anything but irritating

C. a little bit irritating D. absolutely irritating

62. This passage aims to describe______ genetically modified foods.

A. the benefits of B. the controversy about

C. the prospects of D. the disadvantages of

Passage Three

Historians of the American civil war find themselves in the same unenviable position as

Shakespeare scholars: so thoroughly have their fields of study been explored that finding a nearly

virgin corner is all but impossible. But Don Doyle has broken new ground in an enlightening and

compellingly written book, ―The Cause of All Nations‖. More than any previous study, it tells the

story of how America’s civil war was perceived, debated and reacted to abroad, and how that

reaction shaped the course of the war at home.

8

At the war’s outset, however, things were not so simple. Southern diplomats framed their

struggle in accordance with liberal principles of self-determination. They judged the conflict, Mr

Doyle notes, to be ―one arising naturally between industrial and agricultural societies, not freedom

and slavery as the North believed.‖The North’s response, meanwhile, was uncompromising,

legalistic and violent. America’s secretary of state threatened to ―wrap the whole world in flames‖,

promising total war on any state that dared aid the South.

Most histories of the civil war turn inward at the end and examine the war’s consequences

and legacy for America. Mr Doyle turns outward to show how important America’s civil war was

to the rest of the world: liberty and democracy defeated slavery and the landed gentry.

The Union’s victory had wider impacts. In Spain, Queen Isabella, fearing American naval

power, ended the attempted re-colonization of Santo Domingo. Ulysses Grant, a civil-war general,

turned his military attention to Mexico, where Napoleon III had installed an Austrian, Maximilian,

as emperor. When the threat of an alliance between France and the South was smashed, Napoleon

withdrew his support and in 1867 Maximilian was executed by Mexican troops. Across the ocean,

Britain’s republicans marched to victory that same year. Democracy had not just survived, but

flourished.

After Lincoln’s death, a French newspaper wrote that he ―represented the cause of democracy

in the largest and the most universal understanding of the word. That cause is our cause, as much

as it is that of the United States.‖ In honor of the Union’s victory a French artist crafted a statue

out of copper sheeting, a figure representing freedom, tall and proud, holding a torch high. The

Statue of Liberty stands today in New York harbor, the copper now green with age, her gaze fixed

across the Atlantic on Europe.

63. Shakespeare is mentioned in the first paragraph to illustrate that________.

A. historians of the civil war should learn from Shakespeare

B. new discoveries are easy concerning the cause of the civil war

C. the civil war has been studied as extensively as possible

D. the civil war and Shakespeare’s works are known worldwide

64. The book entitled ―The Cause of All Nations‖ is focused on ______.

A. the impact of the civil war on other countries

B. factors that caused the outbreak of the civil war

C. the political difference between the North and South

D. the consequences of the civil war for America

65. The North regarded the civil war as a war ______.

A. between industrial and agricultural states B. between slaves and slave-owners

C. between freedom and slavery n the government and people

66. Paragraph Four is mainly concerned with ______.

A. the effect of incidents abroad on the civil war

B. contributions of Europeans to the Union’s victory

C. numerous conflicts between European countries

D. effects of the Union’s victory on other countries

9

67. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. The author of this passage thinks highly of this book by Don Doyle.

B. The Statue of Liberty was crafted in honor of Abraham Lincoln.

C. The North won the civil war with the support from Europe.

D. The civil war was caused by French diplomatic policies.

68. This passage is probably a ______.

A. personal letter B. research paper C. book review D. fairy tale

Passage Four

Most people under 30 consider email an outdated mode of communication used only by ―old

people‖. Instead, they text or post to Facebook. They attach documents, photos, videos, and links

to their text messages and Facebook posts the way people over 30 do with email. Many people

under 20 now see Facebook as a medium for the older generation.

For them, texting has become the primary mode of communication. It offers privacy phone

calls don’t and immediacy email can’t. Crisis hotlines have begun accepting calls from at-risk

youth via texting with two big advantages: they can deal with more than one person at a time, and

pass the conversation on to an expert without interrupting the conversation.

However, texting discourages thoughtful discussion or detail. Addictive problems are

compounded by texting’s immediacy. Emails take some time and they require that you take the

step of explicitly opening them. Text messages magically appear on the screen and demand

immediate attention. Add to that the social expectation that an unanswered text feels insulting to

the sender, and you’ve got a recipe for addiction: you receive a text, which activates your novelty

centers. You respond and feel rewarded. ―More! More! Give me more!‖

In a famous experiment, neuroscientists placed a small electrode in the brains of rats, in a

region known as the pleasure center that ―lights up‖ when gamblers win a bet or drug addicts take

cocaine. A lever in the cage allowed the rats to send a small electrical signal directly to this center.

Boy how they did! They liked it so much that they did nothing else. They forgot all about eating

and sleeping. Long after they were hungry, they ignored tasty food if they had a chance to press

that little bar. The rats just pressed the lever over and over again until they died of starvation and

exhaustion.

Each time we dispatch a text message, we feel a sense of accomplishment, and our brain gets

a small amount of reward hormones telling us we accomplished something. Each time we check a

Twitter feed or Facebook update, we encounter something novel and feel more connected socially

and get more reward hormones. But remember, it is the dumb, novelty-seeking portion of the brain

that induces this feeling of pleasure, not the planning, scheduling, higher-level thought centers in

the brain. You can now decide for yourself whether email-, Facebook- and Twitter-checking

constitute a neural addiction.

69. The most popular mode of communication for those under 20 is ______.

A. email B. Facebook C. texting D. phone calls

70. Paragraph Three is focused on ______.

10

A. advantages of email over text messages

B. addiction and immediacy caused by texting

C. benefits of sending text messages

D. the need to answer a text message

71. An experiment is mentioned in Paragraph Four as evidence that______.

A. rats enjoy playing electronic games

B. animals are mal-treated in a laboratory

C. rats are too stupid to survive an experiment

D. addiction or obsession can be fatal

72. It seems to the author that the sense of accomplishment ______.

A. is of health benefit to humans B. can induce reward hormones

C. mainly depends on email alone D. helps overcome addiction

73. The author of this passage believes that checking email, Twitter and Facebook ______.

A. can help maintain social relations B. contributes to planning and thought

C. may induce a neural addiction D. can expose you to something novel

74. This passage is intended to ______.

A. discourage the use of cell phones

B. tell us to stop using email if possible

C. describe adverse effects of texting

D. tell us how to prevent addiction to texting

Passage Five

I’m writing this after hearing the apparently encouraging news that a new lung cancer

treatment is capable of giving sufferers a possible ―extra 200 days‖ of life. Another morning,

another ―battle against cancer‖ fought, and in this case won – sort of.

Yet I find myself rather in sympathy with the one in five Dutch doctors who, it was reported

this week, would consider helping someone die even if they had no physical problems but were

―tired of living‖. Because these doctors have the maturity to face the fact that life has a natural

end.

The weary truth is that there are just so many ―battles‖, and they appear to be multiplying all

the time. A new drug to treat strokes.A breakthrough in the ―war‖ against heart disease. We are fed,

daily, the hopeful news: fatal disease is slowly on the retreat. But there’s always one more, and

sooner or later we all lose.

An extra 200 days for lung cancer sufferers. I found myself wondering – what kind of days?

Of course, all days may seem worth living when death is approaching. But sometimes the endless

quest to extend our days seems fruitless. In the constant narratives of ―triumphs‖ over disease, we

are not engaged in a struggle against disease, but death itself. We are only partially rational beings

– and at the non-rational level, we believe medicine will save us from our fates.

Most cancers are driven by random mistakes in cell division that are outside our control. Yet

for many the thought won’t quite go away. Thus, we are never quite at peace, because we are

11

always working hard to keep our eyes from staring at the sun. We immerse ourselves in trivial

distractions – shopping, loud music, flashing lights.

My father died at age 87, and my regret about his death is that he didn’t die a few months

sooner. The clinging on to lifemeant that eventually he died unable to speak or hear, totally cut off

from the world. A lonely hospital death that had it been faced earlier, could have been altogether

more human. The battle against mortal disease can never be won because it is a battle against the

inevitable. To face our fate is to have the courage to live, even if it means dying a little earlier than

the experts, and even our families, might – perhaps with more kindness than wisdom – insist.

75. The author is likely to be ______ the type of news mentioned in the first paragraph.

A. disinterested in B. encouraged by C. curious about D. surprised with

76. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that the author______.

A. doesn’t believe in these battles against fatal diseases

B. is convinced that deadly diseases will become curable

C. is excited about the advances in the medical science

D. finds the battles against fatal diseases are decreasing

77. It seems to the author that the extra 200 days for patients of lung cancer are______.

A. really worth living B. not really worth living

C. of inestimable value D. a medical miracle

78. Paragraph Five implies that many people ______.

A. love fighting B. are very busy C. are very lazy D. fear death

79. The author mentions his father in the last paragraph to ______.

A. prove that most people die miserable at old age

B. show his father’s courage to face up to death

C. argue that sometimes earlier death means less pain

D. reveal his intense sadness over his father’s death

80. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to______.

A. remind us that doctors are more kind than wise

B. tell people to learn to face death with courage

C. encourage mortal patients to prolong their lives

D. advise patients of cancer to give up medication

If humans are capable of sacrificing collective benefit in the name of stabilizing an economic

system that renders daily life more expensive, then humans will be able to make important

lifestyle changes in the interest of stabilizing the physical systems upon which all of life depends.

Many of the changes that need to be made to dramatically cut emissions would substantially

improve the quality of life for the majority of people – from allowing kids in Beijing to play

outside without wearing pollution masks to creating good jobs in clean energy sectors for millions.
