第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by ac olonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.
At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.
“A woman's reaction in any crisis,” the officer says, is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. ”
The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.
The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait fora snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place - under the table.
His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. “I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred - that's five minutes - and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!”
The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying “…two hundred and eighty…”. when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.
“There is your proof!” the host says. “A man has just shown us real control.”
“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess, “How did you know that cobra was in the room?”
A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. “Because it was lying across my foot.”
1、What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?
A．Whether women are afraid of mice.
B．Whether men are calmer than women.
C．Whether men are cleverer than women.
D．Whether women would make suitable soldiers.
2、Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?
A．To play a trick.
B．To serve the guests.
C．To attract the snake .
D．To feed the hostess's pet.
3、Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?
A．He doesn't want anyone to panic.
B．He intends to test the officer's theory.
C．He sees there was a snake in the room.
D．He wants to entertain the other guests.
4、What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?
A．The army officer's opinion is wrong.
B．The hostess understood the American's intention.
C．The American was surprised by the snake's presence.
D．The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.

B
Is there clear boundary between science and the liberal arts as a major for college students? The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either/ or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of American’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem. “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.
Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their fourth and fifth jobs, as there is little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight-picked up from science, arts, and technology- to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.
1、What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A．Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
C．STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
2、What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?
A．They are essential to students’ healthy growth.
B．They improve students’ communication skills.
C．They broaden students range of interests.
D．They benefit students in their future life.
3、What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?
A．The academic value of the courses.
B．Their interest in relevant subjects.
C．Their chances of getting a good job.
D．the quality of education to receive.
4、What advice does the author give to college students?
A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.
B．Prepare themselves for different job options.
C．Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
D．Seize opportunities to tap their potential.
