　　Section III Reading comprehension (40 points)

　　Directions:

　　Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

　　Passage One

　　Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation (计 算 机 自 动 化). Word processors and typists will lose about 93，000 jobs over the next few years， while 57，000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today， many executives type their own memos and carry there” secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks， whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68，000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.

　　But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business， telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician， earning about $ 64，000 per year. Of course， if you’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years， and you find yourself replaced by an E ZPass machine， it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecom field is booming.

　　And that’s just it: The service economy is fading: welcome to the expertise(专门知识) economy. To succeed in the new job market， you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed， all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---demand at least a bachelor’s degree.

　　For those with just a high school diploma(毕业证书).It’s going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available .what’s left be the jobs that compumations can’t kill， computers cant clean offices ，or for Alzheimer’s patients(老年痴呆 病 人). But ，since most people have the skills to fill those positions， the wages stay painfully low ，meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge (楔 子) between the and poor， The best advice now ，Never stop learning ，and keep up with new technology.

　　For busy adults of course that can be tough ，The good news is that very technology that’s reducing so many jobs is a making it easier to go back to school without having to sit in a classroom. So called internet distance learning is hot， with more than three million students currently enrolled ， and it’s gaining credibility with employers.

　　Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer ？ Check the federal Bureau of Labor

　　Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook ，which is available online at bls.gov .

　　41.Prom the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT.

　　A secretaries B stock clerks C managers D wholesalers

　　42、In the second paragraph the anther mentions the tollbooth collector to

　　A mean he will get benefits from the telecomm fled

　　B show he is too old to shift to a new position

　　C console him on having been replaced by a machine

　　D blame the PC for his unemployment

　　43.By saying “ ┅ compumation could drive an even deeper wedge between the rich and poor “(line 5. Para 4 )the author means

　　A people are getting richer and richer

　　B there will be a small gap between rich and poor

　　C the gap between rich and poor is getting larger an larger

　　D it’s time to close up be gap between the rich and poor

　　44．What is the author’s attitude towards computers？

　　A positive B negative C neutral D prejudiced

　　45．Which of the following might serve as the best title of passage？

　　A Blaming the PC

　　B The booming telecomm field

　　C Internet distance leaning

　　D Keeping up with compumation

　　Passage Two

　　Tens of thousands of 18 year olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas .These diplomas won’t look any different from awarded their luckier classmates Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover the these graduates are semiliterate(半文盲)

　　Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational – repair – adult – literacy

　　Programs， such as the one where I teach grammar and writing .There ，high school graduates and high school dropouts pursuing graduate equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school ，They will discover they have been cheated by our educational system.

　　I will never forget a teacher senior when be had her for English .“He site in the back of the room talking to his friends “.she told me ，” Why don’t you move him to the front row？

　　I urged believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down， Mrs. Stifter said ，"I don’t move seniors. I think (使 ┅ 不 及 格) them.” Our son’s academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good this .It was a radical approach for these times ，but well. Why not ？ She’s going to flunk you “ I told my son.

　　I did not discuss it any further.Suddenly English became a priorty (头 等 重 要) in his life.He finished out the semester with an A.

　　I know one example doesn’t make a case，but at night I see a parade of students who are angry for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up.Of average intelligence or better，they eventually quit school，concluding they were too dumb to finish.” I should have been held back，” is a comment I hear frequently.Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class.”I don’t know how I ever got a high-school diploma.”

　　Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills.We excuse this dishonest behavior by saying kids can’t learn if they come from terrible environments.No one seems to stop to think that most kids don’t put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk.They’d rather be sailing.

　　Many students I see at night have decided to make education a priority.They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one they’ve got.They have a healthy fear of failure.

　　People of all ages can rise above their problems，but they need to have a reason to do so.Yong people generally don’t have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it.But fear of failure can motivate both.

　　46.What is the subject of this essay？

　　A view point on learning

　　B a qualified teacher

　　C the importance of examination

　　D the generation gap

　　47.How did Mrs.Sifter get the attention of one of the author’s children？

　　A flunking him

　　B moving his seat

　　C blaming him

　　D playing card with him

　　48.The author believes that most effective way for a teacher is to

　　A purify the teaching environments .

　　B set up cooperation between teachers and parents.

　　C hold back student.

　　D motivate student.

　　49. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that the authors’ attitude toward flunking is

　　A negative

　　B positive

　　C biased

　　D indifferent

　　50. Judging from the content ，this passage is probably written for

　　A administrators

　　B students

　　C teachers

　　D parents

　　Passage Three

　　Names have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education. As colleges strive for market share， they are looking for names that project the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton.State College， for example ，became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.

　　“All I hear in higher education is， “Brand ，brand ，brand，” said Tim Westerbeck， who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne， a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations. “There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education.”

　　Not all efforts at name changes are successful， ofcourse . In 1997 ， the New School for Social
