Part II. Reading Comprehension (30 points)
Directions: There are nine passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1
Most of the big towns in Eastern Europe have seen a large increase in population over the last 30 years. This has caused extreme housing shortages, and the vast majority of people living in towns rent flats. By western
standards, the flats are rather small, with a family of four living in two-or three-room flat with kitchen or bathroom. But compared with Western Europe, the
rents are extremely low.
An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his income on
rent and about 15 percent on total housing costs, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his income on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his income on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like meat and coffee are extremely expensive.
Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are far in advance of other parts of the world. Most medical and social services are provided free, and in some countries workers do not even have to make
contributions to the health and insurance funds, since these contributions are made by the employer. The factory in Eastern Europe provides many facilities and services which are not supplied in Western Europe. Moreover, Eastern Europe does not suffer from one of the major problems of Western Europe?s economy―unemployment. All the constitutions of the individual countries state that every citizen has a right and duty to work.
91. The serious housing shortage in big towns of Eastern Europe have been caused mainly by________. C. an increase in population
92. According to the passage, the rents in Western Europe ____. A. are rather high
93. The average worker in Eastern Europe spends _______.C. a large part of his income on food.
94. The worker in some Eastern European states enjoy better medical and social services because_____. B. it is their employers who pay for their health and insurance funds.
95. Which of the following is not true? D. Western Europe does not suffer from one of the serious problems of Eastern Europe?s economy. Passage 2 Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people?s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems.
However, psychologists distinguish between “sound” and “noise”.
“Sound” is measured physically in decibels. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its
