II． Reading Comprehension (40%)
Directions: In this part, you will read 4 passages. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Despite all the glamour and glitz of the Oscars there is a good reason for people to be there, not for the films, but for the dresses. And short of wearing a dazzling dress you can actually win an award, and sometimes people will remember you. If you want to be noticed, and more importantly if you want to be on the front page of the next day’s newspapers, you need to give a good speech. But the trick is this, you don’t really have to sound special, in fact you can be anything you want to be, as long as it’s entertaining.
There are many ways in which you can grab attention at the Oscars. But there are some who specifically use the ceremony and all the attention it receives, to make themselves heard. Year 2002 was filled with tension over the Iraq war. The only person that night to discuss the war was Adrien Brody, making his speech for winning Best Actor for The Pianist.
Let’s face it, the Oscar moments we remember best are the ones when our strong and noble actresses fall foul of their emotions. In 1998, Gwyneth Paltrow picked up a well-deserved Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love. She was universally laughed at for crying throughout her speech, but considering that her grandfather was on his death bed, the woman should really have been excused for becoming so emotional.
Despite the Academy’s attempt at being the most important thing on stage it is always individual performances that steal the show. In 1991, Jack Palance got up on stage to pick up his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor (for City Slicker) and in an effort to show off his physique at the age of 71, he began a set of one armed pushups, much to the delight of the audience.

1. What can make those attending the Oscars appear on the front page of the next day’s newspaper?
A. Sounding special. B. The films they starred
C. Their smiles. D. An entertaining speech
2. Who made a speech about war when he/she got the award?
A. Oscars B. Gwyneth Paltrow
C. Adrien Brody D. Jack Palance
3. What did Gwyneth Paltrow do when she delivered her speech?
A. She didn’t say a word on the stage.
B. She refused to go to the stage to accept the award.
C. She broke into tears and cried throughout her speech.
D. She told the audience that her grandfather had just died.
4. How did Jack Palance impress the audience at the ceremony?
A. He did a set of one armed pushups. B. He danced as a professional ballet dancer.
C. He got up on the stage to grab the award. D. He told a joke he invented himself.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to make yourself heard at the Oscar ceremony.
B. How to make a speech at the Oscar ceremony.
C. How to be fashionable at the Oscar ceremony.
D. How to be noticed at the Oscar ceremony.

Passage Two
More than two thirds of consumers reported that they are combining their shopping trips, and 39 percent say they are staying home more often and cutting down on non-essential living expenses to offset the cost of gas, according to a new survey.
Black motorists, many like Duane Stewart, are adjusting to the gas price shock in numerous ways. They are carpooling, using mass transit more frequently, scaling back on vacations, riding bicycles, and even walking more often. Other motorists are purchasing fuel-efficient hybrid cars or seeking to convert their cars to use fuel alternatives such as alcohol and, oddly enough, vegetable oil. Some motorists who rely on vehicles daily to do their jobs are cutting back on driving to complete tasks. They are using the Internet more to conduct business, and combining trips or relocating to shorten their trips.
For most Americans, giving up the car is not an option. It’s part of their businesses. No matter how expensive it gets, they have to pay it.
When it comes to cutting high gas prices, African-Americans are making lifestyle changes to cope, but economists forecast that higher gas prices and increases in the cost of living will continue. Here are a few changes you can make to save money at the gas pump:
l Switch to alternative forms of travel such as bicycles, public transportation, carpools, walking or even golf carts.
l Consider making your next car purchase a hybrid or E-85 (alcohol-based) vehicle.
l Use teleconferences, e-mail or the Internet instead of driving to business meetings.
l Slow down. You will use less gas if you stay at or below 55 mph on the highway.

6. According to the survey, the consumers ________.
A. stay at home to do their work
B. like to do shopping near their houses
C. spend more on non-essential living expenses
D. are cutting down on the expenses of gas
7. To adjust to the gas price shock, Duane Stewart does the following EXCEPT _________.
A. Carpooling B. Riding bicycles C. Shopping less often D. Walking more often
8. The motorists who rely on vehicles daily are using ________ more to conduct business.
A. fuel alternatives B. the Internet C. telephones D. vegetable oil
9. How important is the car to most Americans?
A. Their business cannot be done without it. B. It’s an option.
C. It’s the only vehicle they rely on. D. It makes their life convenient.
10. Economists forecast that ___________.
A. gas prices will drop
B. African-Americans will change their lifestyle
C. gas prices and living cost will continue to rise
D. more Americans will put their money in the bank

Passage Three
When you walk down a well-stocked supermarket passage in the U.S., it seems hard to believe that about 840 million people worldwide, including 200 million children, do not have enough food to eat each day. Females require an average of 2,200 calories a day minimum, while males need about 2,500—3,000 calories.
Believe it or not, the world’s 1 billion farmers produce about 3,800 calories of grain, meat, and other food products per person per day—more than enough to feed everyone under the sun. Over the past four decades, the world’s food supply has grown even faster than the population, thanks to fertilizers, pesticides, and improved farming techniques. Plants become more fruitful and resistant to drought, insects and diseases.
So why are so many people still starving? The answer is pure and simple: distribution—getting food to the right places. Many poor countries do not grow enough food to feed their own residents. And their governments can’t afford to pay for imported foods. Wars, inadequate transportation systems, as well as droughts, floods, and other natural disasters also affect the food supply.
Even if getting food to the hungry were not a problem, population experts would still worry: what effect will billions of people have on the environment?
Every day, each of us taps into the Earth’s resources, not only for food and water, but also for energy, land, shelter, clothing and other life necessities. The U.S., with only 5 percent of the world’s population, consumes 25 percent of the world’s fossil fuels. As our need for living space increases, we move into the habitats of many other species, endangering their survival. At the same time, we pollute land, air, water, and even outer space.
The world’s growing population is putting unbelievably great stress on resources and intense pressures on the environment, says Henry Kendall, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We are putting our future in danger”, he warns.

11. In the well-stocked American supermarket, ________
A. it is hard to find the food you like most
B. you won’t believe that some people are still starving
C. you cannot buy everything you need for your daily life
D. it is hard to believe that you won’t get the best service
12. Over the past four decades, the world’s food supply has grown __________ the population.
A. more slowly than B. as fast as
C. faster than D. twice faster than
13. Why are many people still starving?
A. Because their governments refuse to import foods for them.
B. Because they are not hard working.
C. Because they don’t have enough land to grow food.
D. Because food is not distributed to them.
14. What effect does the large population have on the environment?
A. It has polluted the environment.
B. It is putting great stress on resources.
C. The resources are almost used up.
D. Both A and B.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problems the growing population is facing.
B. The history of world’s population.
C. The ways to increase food supply.
D. The environmental protection.

Passage Four
I first realized I have a problem while hiking in the Himalayas. There I was—11,000 feet above sea level, walking along narrow dirt paths among wild cows and Buddhist monks when I spotted a sign in front of a little store: “Internet access inside.”
Soon, I was reading stupid jokes forwarded via e-mail by friends back home. Then I felt a sudden distress: What’s wrong with me? I’m in maybe the most beautiful place on earth, yet I’m huddled in a small room without any fresh air, staring at a computer monitor. Did I really hike all this way to do what I really already spend too much time doing back home?
Most nights, my girlfriend and I sit on the sofa, watching television on one of hundreds of digital cable channels. We each have a notebook computer—linked to the Internet through a wireless network—in our laps. Moreover, our cell phones sit within easy reach. At any given moment, we can watch TV, check our e-mail, surf various websites and chat with a friend.
But wouldn’t it be nice every now and then to have a pleasant one-on-one conversation? Sure, it happens, but the more we’ve gotten used to keeping all
