Part III Reading Comprehension (40%) (35 minutes)文档来自于网络搜索 Passage One
Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.文档来自于网络搜索 As a first-time entrepreneur (创业者), I have learned many things that I hope will be valuable to the people reading this. 文档来自于网络搜索 I had no idea what to do or how to begin, so my first move was to sit around and think of an idea for a business, in the hope that investors would come bursting through the door with money to help me expand. My idea was to create a small business profiling (介绍；概述) site that would make it easy for people to find places to go when they needed or wanted a particular service or item. I thought I should keep the idea a secret until it had been completely developed so no one could steal it. However, I should have talked to businesses and their customers to see if they would use a service like this. At the rime, I thought this idea was brilliant. I outsourced (把…外包) the coding work, and spent $1000 of my own money, to build a product that was far from the one I expected. My money was wasted, and I had found out the hard way that my idea couldn’t work. 文档来自于网络搜索 From this experience I learned a couple of things, one of which was that outsourcing work is a very risky move that should only be done with care and great attention. The other thing I learned was that sharing your idea with others is much more valuable than keeping it to yourself. By giving others an idea of what you are trying to do, you will get valuable feedback as well as figure out whether or not your idea has legs.文档来自于网络搜索 33．The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _____.文档来自于网络搜索 A) emphasize the importance of the urge to start a company文档来自于网络搜索 B) explain his idea about creating a business website文档来自于网络搜索 C) share some lessons he learned in starting a business文档来自于网络搜索 D) give warnings to the readers against outsourcing文档来自于网络搜索 34.

Passage Two
Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.文档来自于网络搜索 Beijing is asking its citizens for opinions about the proposed garbage classification rules that it intends to introduce to better manage trash. As the most effective way to reduce harmful gases emitted from trash-burners, classification is a step toward the goal of reducing the total amount of trash.文档来自于网络搜索 So far, classification of trash has only been practiced in some communities on a trial basis and investigations show that most residents haven’t developed the awareness or habit of sorting trash into different containers. Some residents ignore the different trash cans and throw bags of mixed waste into the nearest can. 文档来自于网络搜索 How to make residents cooperate in garbage sorting remains the sticking point. Grassroots government, such as district committees and neighborhood committees, must be well organized and take responsibility for helping the public understand why trash classification is important and how it is done. 文档来自于网络搜索 In addition, community workers need to play a much more active role. Community workers need to guide residents so they know what kind of trash to put in which can. They also need to find whether there are residents who disobey the rules and throw away mixed trash.文档来自于网络搜索 It is perhaps not easy for some residents to develop the new habit of putting different trash into different bags, but they must change. The safe disposal of urban waste will never be realized without trash sorting by residents.文档来自于网络搜索 That process is a must for the rules to work.
38. As the government prepares to introduce rules for garbage classification, citizens of Beijing are asked to _____.文档来自于网络搜索 A) throw out less garbage B) tell what they think about the rules 文档来自于网络搜索 C) reduce trash burning D) improve management of trash文档来自于网络搜索 39.

C) has met objection from residents D) has begun in some places文档来自于网络搜索 40. Investigations show that most residents dispose mixed waste without _____.文档来自于网络搜索 A) habit of putting garbage into trash cans B) practice of using garbage bags
文档来自于网络搜索 C) awareness of trash classification D) guidance to use different containers
文档来自于网络搜索 41. The word “grassroots” (line 1, paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.文档来自于网络搜索 A) “directly facing the residents” B) “in relation with grasslands”文档来自于网络搜索 C) “in the countryside” D) “responsible for environment”文档来自于网络搜索 42. The biggest challenge for the city to realize safe garbage disposal lies in _____.文档来自于网络搜索 A) getting the public to cooperate
B) reducing the emission of harmful gases C) finding the residents who ignore the rules D) organizing district and community committees
Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.文档来自于网络搜索 In the United States, the handshake has become an extremely ambiguous (含糊的) symbol. At one level, it just means “hello” or “goodbye.” But it can also be interpreted as “we’re in agreement.” And on a still deeper level, it can mean “everything’s OK between us,” particularly after some conflict has been settled. But sometimes social custom awkwardly calls for shaking hands to signify (表示) the end of a meeting, even though no agreement has been reached or a state of conflict still exists. 文档来自于网络搜索 Then, of course, business types will read all sorts of meaning into the very style of your handshake. Even if you execute it under exactly the right circumstances, it must be firm but not too firm; it must be held for exactly the right amount of time but no longer; it must be accompanied by direct eye contact; and, to be more sincere, you should add your left hand to make a “hand sandwich.” You may also be judged on the angle of your hand and the number and intensity of shakes.文档来自于网络搜索 And if this kind of confusion isn’t bad enough, that’s just the standard, ordinary handshake. Gangs (黑帮团伙) sometimes use special handshakes to signify group membership, and use “secret handshakes” as a kind of password, a symbolic way of saying, “We’re insiders.” So if someone outside the group incorrectly attempts a handshake, the results can be quite serious. On the other hand, a high five (arguably a variety of handshake) pretty unambiguously expresses satisfaction or congratulations --- but that’s the exception.文档来自于网络搜索 43. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?文档来自于网络搜5 / 9
