Part II Reading Comprehension (40points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of then there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You
should decide on the best choice.
Passage 1
Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sport ---- the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is third world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he' 11 think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport Certainly not! Do the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others Not really. But it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best. 41. What is the author' s main purpose in the passage A. To explain the role of sport.
B. To compare Scotland with Argentina.
C. To show that Argentina is better than all others.
D. To prove that football is the world' s most important sport. 42. In the second paragraph, the word \means _______________ .
A. award B. summary C. highest point D. mountain top
43. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of
its ______________.
A. obvious position on the map
B. successes in the football World Cup C. excellence at most important sports
D. large number of sports fans and supporters
44. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will _____________.
A. fail to succeed B. lose enjoyment C. be successful D. be unreasonable
45. What is the author's attitude towards international games A. Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.
B. Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.
C. Nations that win in international games prove the best on the
sports field at least.
D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.
Passage 2
Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ . This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable: one is death and the other taxes.
Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.
There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman and to your building \should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues. 46. The main idea of this passage is ______________.
A. shopping and tipping B. sales and shopping C. sales taxes and tipping D. sales taxes and people
47. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra ____________as sales tax. A. $ B. $4 C. $5 D. $ 48. Usually, cab drivers _________________.
A. get high wages from the employer Bget great benefits from the employer
C. get low wages from the employer D. get high bonus from the employer
49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country. C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.
D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.
50. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax _________________. A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S. B. are over 15% in the U. S.
