三、 阅读理解
21. The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive(综合的) exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.
The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.
The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.
However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).
“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.
Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.
The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.
Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy(精确) and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity(清晰) and fluency, Jen said.
27. The United States will introduce a new exam because _______.
A. more and more students want to get further education in the USA
B. the Chinese people pay special attention to English studies with China’s entry into the WTO
C. the already existing exam systems seem to be far from perfect
D. it will bring the US government quite a lot of money
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the selection？
A. It will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL.
B. The TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS.
C. A student will have to take the APIEL if he or she wants to study in English—speaking countries from 2002.
D. Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.
29. The underlined word current in the second paragraph means _______.
A. modern B. present
C. standard D. formal
30. Which is the best title for this news report?
A. The Key to English-speaking Countries
B. The Four Skills in Learning English
C. TOEFL, IELTS and GRE to be Out of Date
D. New Exam Designed for Students
参考答案：
27. C    28. A    29. B    30. D
全文介绍了APIEL与传统英语测试对比所显出的新功能。

22. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D 项中，选出最佳选项。
Although the 2008 US presidential elections are still a long way off, candidates(候选人) are already getting ready for the campaigns ahead.
   For the Democrats (民主党人), the two leading candidates are a surprising pair. The first is Hillary Clinton, 60, the wife of former President Bill Clinton. The second is Barack Obama, 45, a Harvard educated senator (参议员).
   It is the first time that the leading presidential candidates for a political party are either a woman or black. The energetic pair has certainly gotten people's attention. But the question remains, is America ready for either one?
   It's not a simple question to answer. For the past 220 years, Americans have elected only white males to the nation's highest office. That can hardly be called a tradition of diversity. However, many people believe that 2008 will be the year that this changes.
  "The white men that have been running the country recently have done such a bad job, at home and abroad, that maybe now is the time for a change," said Dorian Cool of San Francisco, California.
   The polling(投票)numbers seem to back up his opinion: 86 percent of Americans say they would vote for a qualified woman. An impressive 93 percent say they would vote for a black man if he seemed right for the job. These numbers are much higher than they were just 20 years ago. They may suggest that Americans are ready to be led by a different type of person.
   Still, there is a lot to overcome. Although women represent 51 percent of the American population, there are only nine female governors out of 50. Out of 100 senators, only 16 are women. The numbers are significantly lower for blacks in office.
Since the American Civil War, only two blacks have been elected governor and only three have been elected to the Senate.
   Surely both candidates face difficult odds, but never before has there been so much support for either a female or a black candidate.
   As Barack Obama himself said, "There is not a black America and a white America, a Latino America and an Asian America — there's the United States of America." If others share his vision, maybe the United States will end up with a new type of leader.

68．The author considers Hillary and Barack “a surprising pair” because they are ____.
A. both powerful
B. both likely to win
C. either a woman or black 
D. either the wife of former President or a Harvard educated senator
69．Many people expect the 2008 US presidential elections to ____.
A. be nothing special  
B. bring great changes to America
C. be a common political campaign
D. change the tradition of diversity
70．Both Hillary and Barack face difficult odds mainly because ____.
A. few women or blacks hold high official positions in American history
B. women take up 51% of the American population
C. they are either too young or old

D. they lack financial support
71．We can infer from the passage that ____.
A. Barack Obama is well educated .
B. Hillary Clinton is less likely to win the election.
C. the two leading candidates represent different parties.
D. the public pay little attention to the 2008 presidential elections.
