Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.

One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. After hearing that, all students __21__ (seat) and waited for the test to begin. The professor gave the test papers to all students with the text __22__ (face) down at the desk. Once he handed out the test papers to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.

Students’ were confused to see there was not a question __23__ just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students’ face expression and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”

The students were even __24__ (confused) but started the test by then. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot, __25__ position they tried to explain. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.

The professor explained, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades but I just want you to think about___26___. Here everyone focused on the black dot but no one wrote about the white paper, and the same is with our lives. The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life. __27__ our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, we have every reason to celebrate. Still we just focus on problems like health issues, problems in relationships etc., but we never see these problems are very small compared with __28__ we have in our lives.”

So there is the moral lesson: we __29__ try to take eyes off our problems and enjoy each moment that life __30__ (give) us. Be happy and live the life positively.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silence may be 31 , or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 32 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 33 among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 34 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for 35 .

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 36 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 37 between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 38 meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 39 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 40 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

III. Reading Comprehension Section A (15分)

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

We must face the fact that there are many aspects of the information age. All information makes us anxious. Over some of these, we have little or no control. On the other hand, there are steps we can take to eliminate(消除) much of 41 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet 42 task.

To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain

3

to process information subconsciously.

Another way involves 43 processing of information such as during conversation. We have a great deal of control over this type of information processing --- both as givers and receivers. If we indulge (任凭) ourselves talking about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 44 can be wasted. Meanwhile, this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and distribute(散发)information that is truly useful for 45 in this troubled world. Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 46 takes longest. The written word is still the most powerful way of 47 imagination and conveying information, ideas, and concept.

How can we 48 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV program, computer games, and other 49 activities? The answer is screening. Screening, sorting out or prioritizing what we need to hear, see, say or read may 50 much information anxiety.

To cut through confusing information, 51 this basic rule: Keep it simple! The secret to processing information is narrowing your 52 of information.

A. minimum B. maximum C. quantity D. presence

Section B(11×2=22分)

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

The State of Marriage Today

Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50%of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse, if this trend continues. It will lead to the breakup of the

4

family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs(婚外恋) will be even more common than they are now.

But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so depressing? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The practice of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn’t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.

In answer to the second question, the prospects may not be as pessimistic as they seem. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit(同居) and don’t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50%of first marriages survive. The statistics are unreliable because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.

So is marriage really an outdated practice? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn’t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more satisfied than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships! 56. What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph two mean? A. It is not necessary to get married any more. B. Women do not need a husband any longer.

C. Women are not economically dependent any more. D. Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.

57. Why may the prospects of marriage not be as depressing as it appears? A. Many people still like to get married.

B. The rate of divorce has actually decreased. C. many couples would rather cohabit than marry D. The statistics of divorce is not quite true。

58. How do people usually feel in their marriage life? A. They are much safer. B. They feel no longer single. C. They are more satisfied. D. They suffer a lot less.

59. Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. There will be more relationships outside marriage. B. Many people try to get married again after divorce. C. Marriage has long been partly an economic need. D. It is a fact that most people choose to get married.

(B)
