Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Shoron Keating was worried about her kids when she got a divorce. Her daughter says, “ I was feeling … like down and sad even though I didn’t really show it.
Judith Wallerstein says problems from divorce can last many years. They can show up when the kids are adults. And the kids have their own trouble. Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. The results can be found in her book.
She says that children of divorce are more likely to have problems with drugs. They are far more likely to seek therapy. About 40 percent of them avoid marriage themselves. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate. It is hard for them to trust. They are afraid of failing.
Critics say Wallerstein had too few children in her study. They think that Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kid’s problem. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy” families.
Wallerstein’s families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce. Today programs like Kid’s Turn try to reduce some of the effects of divorce with family advice. Talking about their feelings helps the kids get though it. Since they know more about the problem, maybe the kids will be able to handle it.
71. Which word can best describe the kids from divorced families according to Paragraph 1?
A. Offensive B. Relieved C. Depressed D. Prejudiced
72. Children from divorced families who marry later will ______.
A. have no trust in other people
B. be more likely to get divorced
C. firmly protect their marriage
D. have stable marriage
73. Wallerstein’s study showed that ______.
A. divorce left the children with many problems
B. all the problems showed up right after the divorce
C. divorce could be avoided
D. divorce is the only cause of children mature earlier
74. Which of the following is critics’ opinion?
A. Healthy families do not have problems.
B. All the related factors were considered in the study.
C. Divorce is the only cause of child problems.
D. The number of families studied was not sufficient.
75. Today children from divorced families______.
A. have no more problems
B. are getting more care and help
C. are less able to handle their problems
D. are told not to talk about their problems
Passage 2
In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of . There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.
Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.
In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.
66. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?
A. It was a proof of their professional skills.
B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.
C. It built up their confidence in the job market.
D. It would help them to start an academic career.
67. Ryan Stewart has not got any job offer because_______.
A. there are too many graduates of his major
B. he wants to find a job with very high salary
C. he has not received a degree in the university
D. the job market has changed greatly since
68. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in .
A. computer science B. accounting C. teaching D. nursing
69. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher?
A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.
B. He majored in teaching in the university.
C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.
D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by economy.
70. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.
A. the value of a college degree has decreased now.
B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs.
C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.
D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.
Passage 3
The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.
