Section III Reading Comprehension

Directions:
Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)

Passage 1
NASA scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers. “We have now a number of hypotheses（假设）about what’s going on in the Martian soil,” said Steve Squyres, principal investigator from Connell University, describing the soil analysis that the rover conducted on Monday.
The six-wheeled robot turned its attention Tuesday to the large, sharply angled rock scientists have dubbed “Adirondack.” Results of that testing were expected on Wednesday. The Spirit rover is being used to examine its surroundings in the Gusey Crater as scientists search for evidence that the planet’s surface once had liquid water.
“We don’t know that this soil came from the Gusey Crater. The stuff could have come from somewhere else. It’s going to be very interesting. To dig some holes and see if it looks the same deeper down”, Squyres said. One instrument told scientists the soil contained a mixture of materials that included a mineral called olivine.
Scientists were surprised to find olivine, which is usually associated with volcanic eruptions, said Squyres. Mission members now believe the soil could be a layer of finely ground lava, he said.
“That would be a surprise to me,” he said. “I think we’re going to learn wonderful things by using the wheels to scrape and push” the soil away to see what’s underneath. Another tool detected the elements iron, argon, sulfur, chlorine, nickel and zinc in the soil, said Johannes Brueckner of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Chemistry.
Most of the minerals had been noted during previous Mars expeditions, but this is the first time scientists have detected nickel and zincs, he said. Spirit extended its robotic arm Tuesday and placed a drilling tool against the surface of the “Adirondack” rock to test the drill’s position, said Jennifer Trosper, mission manager for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Mission members were still deciding whether to use the tool to drill into the rock to see if its inner composition matches readings they were collecting from its exterior using other instruments. Scientists believe the rock is made of a volcanic rock called basalt. “You can think of it as a time capsule that contains a history of its formation,” said Dave Des Marais of NASA’s Ames Research Center.
Trosper said the rover was doing remarkably well and was transmitting an “incredible amount of data. It’s like we got an Internet upgrade overnight.” Spirit’s twin, Opportunity, is due to land Saturday on Meridiani Planum which lies halfway around the planet from Spirit’s Jan. 3 landing site in Gusev Crater.

36. When NASA scientists said the examination revealed as many questions as answers, they probably imply ______________.
[A] the examination revealed many questions as well as many answers
[B] the examination has already provided ready answers to all the many questions
[C] that while tile examination revealed the questions scientists would quickly find answers to them
[D] that corresponding hypotheses were formulated as to all the questions the rover’s analysis revealed
37. The verb phrase “have dubbed” is best used to mean ___________
[A] have doubted [B] have named
[C] have honored [D] have doubled
38. The main idea of Paragraph Three can best be ____________.
[A] the examination has not only found soil from the Gusey Crater or from somewhere else, but also has determined its content
[B] it’s very interesting to dig some holes and see what is inside
[C] NASA scientists now feel sure that the soil contained a mixture of materials with olivine inside
[D] NASA scientists are not sure if the soil tine instrument examined came from the Gusey Crater or came from somewhere else
39. Which of the following elements belong to what had not been detected in the previous Mars expeditions?
[A] Iron and argon
[B] sulfur and chlorine
[C] nickel and zinc
[D] nickel and sulfur
40. The tone of the author in this passage sounds ______________.
[A] cool-hearted and analytic

[C] sympathetic and thoughtful
[D] optimistic and confident

Passage 2
It is incongruous（不协调）that the number of British institutions offering MBA courses should have grown by 254 per cent during a period when the economy has been sliding into deeper recession. Optimists, or those given to speedy assumptions might think it marvelous to have such a resource of business school graduates ready for the recovery. Unfortunately, there is now much doubt about the value of the degree—not least among MBA graduates themselves, suffering as they are from the effects of recession and facing the prospect of shrinking management structures.
What was taken some years ago as a ticket of certain admission to success is now being exposed to the scrutiny（审查）of cost-conscious employers who seek “can-dos” rather than “might- dos”, and who feel that academia has not been sufficiently appreciative of the needs of industry or of the employers’ possible requirements.
Perhaps companies that made large investments would have been wiser to invest in already existing managers, resting anxiously on their own internal ladders. The Institute of Management’s 1992 survey, which revealed that eighty-one percent of managers thought they would be more effective if they received more training, suggests that this might be the case. There is, too, the fact that training alone does not make successful managers. They need the inherent qualifications of character, a degree of self-control, and, above all, the ability to communicate and lead.
One can easily think of people, some comparatively unlettered, who are now praised captains of industry. We may, therefore not need to be too concerned about the fall in applications for business school places or even the doubt about MBAs. The increase and subsequent questioning may have been an inevitable evolution. If the Management Charter Initiative now exploring the introduction of a senior management qualification is successful, there will be a powerful corrective.
We believe now that management is all about change. One hopes there will be some of that in the relationship between management and science within industry, currently causing concern and which is overdue for attention. No one doubts that we need more scientists and innovation to give us an edge in an increasingly competitive world. If scientists feel themselves undervalued and under-used, working in industrial is not a promising signal for the future. It seems we have to resolve these misunderstandings between science and industry. Above all, we have to make sure that management is not itself proud of its status and that it does not issue mission statements about communication without realizing that the essence of it is a dialogue.

41. According to the passage, the author believed that __________
[A] there are too many MBAs
[B] the degree is over-valued
[C] standards are inconsistent
[D] the degree has doubtful value
42. According to the passage, employers ____________
[A] feel that they have not been consulted sufficiently about their needs .
[B] consider that cost-consciousness is the most important qualification
[C] are more concerned about the value of the degree than graduates themselves
[D] feel that MBAs will be not necessary because of shrinking management structures
43. It can be learned from the passage that ______________.
[A] managers need the ability to communicate to a degree
[B] training needs to be done in groups to be successful
[C] managers today must have good communication and leadership skills
[D] industrial managers do not need to write letters
44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________
[A] science increases competition
[B] scientists are undervalued
[C] management of science needs reassessment
[D] management feels proud of its status
