Part III: Reading Comprehension (40%) (35 minutes)
Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.
The French shake hands with everyone (family, children, strangers), at home, on the way to work,
at work, on the way home from work, etc. Thus, in an office that employs perhaps a dozen people,
no work will be done for the first half hour, while those who have not met since the day before
remind each other who they are.
However, it is important to remember with whom one has shaken hands on any one day. The
French regard it as extremely bad manners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken
adequate notice the first time.
It is still the custom to say “Bonjour (how do you do)” and “Au revoir (goodbye)” to one and
all when entering or leaving a shop or bar. This is not because the French are excessively polite. It
is because they see acknowledging the existence of others as a way of avoiding being rude. For the
French manners means civilization. Without rigid formalities (严格旳礼节), the primitive in them
would assuredly assert itself (表露).
Kissing is not so much of a feature of French life as others supposed. But when it does take
place, it must be done properly, according to the rules. The correct order is left cheek, right cheek,
left cheek – very formal, very stylized (程式化旳). In Paris four kisses are sometimes permitted:
left, right, left, right.
33. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that before doing his daily work in an office, a French employee will spend some time ______.
A) getting to know who has come
B) shaking hands with everyone else
C) reminding other employees of his punctual presence
D) telling other employees what happened the day before
34. The French custom requires that, if you have shaken hands with someone, on that day you should ______.
A) take notice of his appearance C) behave well before him

B) Three kisses are forbidden in Paris.
C) When two friends meet, the French will not necessarily kiss each other.

Passage Two
Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.
The Monday edition of USA Today said sixty people have died in 84 crashes since –
more than double the number of crashes during the previous five years. Its study found that more
than 10 percent of the U.S. air ambulance helicopters (救护直升飞机) crashed during that time
and about two-thirds of the fatal crashes occurred in poor visibility.
After reviewing hundreds of pages of documents and interviewing dozens of pilots, federal
officials and executives with the companies that operate the flights, USA Today concluded that air
ambulance companies have failed to make safety requirements that might have saved lives. It also
found that helicopters were used “excessively” for patients who weren’t severely injured.
But the newspaper also noted that there are studies which show that thousands of lives are
saved each year by speedy flights to hospitals. It pointed out, as well, that pilots operate in
challenging situations, such as having to land on hospital roofs and being sent on life-and-death
tasks to rural accident scenes despite darkness or bad weather. “I don’t know anybody in this
industry who isn’t devoted to safety and devoted to what we do, ” Ron Fergie, president of the
National EMS Pilots Association, told USA Today.
38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A) 10% of the pilots are not qualified to operate helicopters.
B) Speedy flights of ambulance helicopters often kill patients.
C) There are more fatal ambulance helicopter crashes than before.
D) Ambulance helicopters are killing people rather than saving them.
39. What conclusion can you make from USA Today concerning the increasing deaths since ?
A) The pilots of ambulance helicopters should be blamed.
B) The air ambulance companies should be blamed.
C) Helicopters are not frequently used to same people’s lives.
D) There are too many tasks for ambulance helicopters.
40. We can learn from the last paragraph that ambulance-helicopter pilots often ______.
A) work by night and in bad weather C) find it hard to locate the patients
B) lose their way in rural areas D) fail to carry out their tasks well
41. What Ron Fergie said may be understood as ______.
A) air ambulance industry should take measures to improve its service
B) people in this industry should fully devote themselves to safety
C) the pilots should be trained further to improve their service
D) all of his co-workers are highly devoted to their duty
42. The attitude of USA Today towards the air ambulance companies is ______.
A) appreciative B) objective C) negative D) critical

Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.
It’s five minutes before the exam and you are in a state of fear. You just have to pass it, but
how? You didn’t even open the book the night before and you hear a voice in your head saying
“Cheat, cheat…” So what are you going to do, ignore it and fail or go for it? It’s a tough decision
many students must make.
Most young people believe that cheating is wrong. However, they have cheated at least once in
their high school years. So, why do they do it? Are they too lazy to study? Perhaps, it’s not as
simple as that. According to some experts, one main reason why students cheat is that they see
their friends get away with it.
It has never been easier to cheat than it is today. With all the technology available, students
needn’t cheat by looking over their shoulders anymore. They use mobile phones to send answers
to each other during a test. There is also the Internet, with hundreds of websites giving tips on the
art of cheating in exams.
Obviously, if you get caught cheating, you fail the
