II. Reading Comprehension (2 .5marks each, 40 minutes)
Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:
There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.
The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February. 61.

In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And

women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women
swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very
different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.
A. women do as much work as men
B. people think women are weaker than men C. sport is easier for men than for women D. in sport the two sexes are always together 67. Which of the following is true? B
A. Boys and girls study separately everywhere. B. Women do not run or swim in races with men. C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.
D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe. 68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.
A. say other things too B. don’t say this much
C. say this but may not think so D. only think this
69. What problems does sport have? B
A. Some women athletes are actually men.
B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections. C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women. 70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.
A. women are weaker than men, but faster B. women are slower than men, but stronger
C. men are not always stronger and faster than women D. men are faster and stronger than women
Questions 71~75 are base on the following passage:
The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated,
