Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes, 40 marks) Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions following the passage. Questions 21 to 25 are based
13、on the following passage: Every newborn baby is dealt a genetic hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life. There are good cards, which predispose (偏 爱 ， 倾向于 ) those who have them to a long and healthy existence, and there are bad cards, which
14、predispose people to high blood pressure, say, or heart disease. Occasionally, cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cardsin other words, which genesthey had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind o
15、f health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents. Genetic testing, which makes it possible to probe for dangerous genes, has changed all this. But, until recently, if you tested positive for a bad gene you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few extreme circumsta
16、nces. This month, however, Britain became the first country in the world to allow life insurers to ask for test results. So far, approval has been given only for a test for a fatal brain disorder known as Huntingtons disease. But ten other tests (for seven diseases) are already in use and are awaiti
17、ng similar approval. The independent body that gives approval, the Department of Healths genetics and insurance (保险 ) committee, does not have to decide whether the use of genetic information in insurance is ethical (合乎伦理的 ). It must judge only whether the tests are believable to insurers. In the ca
18、se of Huntingtons disease the answer is clear cut. People unlucky enough to have this gene will die early, and cost life 2insurers dearly. This is only the start. Clear-cut genetic answers, where a gene is simply and directly related to a persons risk of death, are uncommon. More usually, a group of
19、 genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease, dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental factors. But, as tests improve, it will become possible to predict whether or not a particular individual is at risk. In the next few years researchers will discover more an
20、d more about the functions of individual genes and what health risksor benefitsare associated with them. 21. What does the word “cards” (line 1) refer to? A) Genes. B) Diseases. C) Problems. D) Games. 22. What is the function of genetic testing according to this passage? A) It helps people know what
21、 health problems their parents ever experienced. B) It enables people to change those dangerous genes to better ones. C) It reveals possible genetic diseases people may have. D) It calls on the public to help people who have bad genes. 23. What benefit can insurance companies get from the use of gen
22、etic information? A) They can help to save the lives of those who have bad genes. B) They can save a lot of money. C) They can gain trust from their customers. D) They can clear the misunderstanding of their customers. 24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A) It is
23、impossible to get clear-cut genetic answers at present. B) Environmental factors are more important than genes. C) Genetic factors may contribute to some common diseases. D) It is common that some genes are directly related to a persons risk of death. 25. What is the authors purpose of writing the p
24、assage? A) To show the way genetic testing works. B) To indicate the relation between genes and Huntingtons disease. C) To reveal the influence of environmental factors on genes. D) To introduce genetic testing and its function. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Moving from firs
25、t-generation analog（ 模拟） mobile phones to second-generation phones in 1991 represented a clear break with the past. The digital standard enabled users to roam nationally and internationally. There are fewer obvious differences between second- and third-generation phones, at least until the companies
26、 reveal what kind of additional services they intend to offer. It is clear already, though, that by adding the Internet to voice capabilities, the new system will expand the use of the telephone in all kinds of ways. There is reflection on possibilities such as mobile commerce or gaming or adding vi
27、sion to voice calls. But no one knows what is likely to be the “killer application” that makes the next-generation telephones irresistible. Such developments are not usually planned. For example, when GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standards were introduced, no one seems to have predi
28、cted the enormous popularity of short text messaging, which now provides operators with a large amount of their income. In Europe, an estimated 30 billion text messages are exchanged every month, at an average cost of 10 cents each, while consuming only a small part of the radio bandwidth. 3In contr
29、ast to the distinct break between analog and digital systems, second- and third-generation phones will probably exist side by side for several years, and customers will not always know which network they are using. Most telephone companies that have 3G (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) li
30、censes already have GSM licenses. Although 3G will enable the operators to develop various new services, their main interest in acquiring the expensive licenses was to obtain a bigger slice of the radio spectrum (无线电波频谱 ). Next-generation networks will have many times the capacity of their GSM count
31、erparts. 26. What is the difference between the 2ndand the 3rdgeneration phones? A) Whether they adopt the digital technology. B) Whether their services cover the whole country. C) Whether their services cover the whole world. D) Whether they add the Internet to voice capabilities. 27. In the passag
32、e the “killer application” refers to the function that _. A) will get people to buy the next-generation phones B) enables users to roam nationally and internationally C) allows users to send short text messages D) conforms to GSM standards 28. Which of the following statements is true about short te
33、xt messaging? A) It can provide customers with a large sum of income. B) Almost 30 billion text messages are exchanged every year in Europe. C) The enormous popularity of short text messaging is quite unexpected. D) It is predicted that short text messaging will be very popular. 29. Why do the opera
34、tors spend a large amount of money on licenses? A) They try to obtain the right of developing new services. B) They intend to confirm to their customers that they use a better network. C) They want to increase the capacity of mobile phones. D) They attempt to exist side by side with their counterpar
35、ts. 30. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A) To persuade customers to buy mobile phones. B) To introduce the revolution in mobile phones. C) To convince customers of the superiority of the 3rd generation mobile phones. D) To reveal the results of experiments on mobile phones. Questions 31-
36、35 are based on the information about books given below. Answer each of the questions by choosing the right book(s) marked AD. You may choose some of the books more than once. Which book (s) compares policies of different countries? 31. _ indicates womens contribution to the development of industry?
37、 32. _ discusses the difficulties women have in the economic adjustment? 33. _ explores the industrialization in a certain area? 34. _ provides ways to fight against poverty? 35. _ A. Women in West Germany German women have played a major and hitherto neglected part in postwar economic and social re
38、construction. These changes in the socio-economic positions of women were indicators for even 4more significant shifts in values and gender relations in the Federal Republic. The author examines these developments as they relate to womens position in the labor market since 1945, their vocational and
39、 professional training and their changing roles within the family and within politics. B. Women: Recession and Adjustment in the Third World The Third World debt crisis and the international Monetary Fund and World Banks adjustment policies have compelled many countries to move toward a contraction
40、of public sector expenditure and market-oriented development policies. Women in general, and the poorest among them in particular, have borne a disproportionate burden of the ensuing hardships. This book addresses the shortcomings in the current gender-blind analytical frameworks of government and i
41、nternational financial organizations, and shows the negative implications that these have on the lives of women. The author in this volume offers alternative strategies for combating recession and poverty. C. Welfare and State This volume broadens and updates the classic debates on welfare, poverty,
42、 inequity and the nature of the capitalist state in light of the current swing to the political right. It focuses on the widest range of social and economic policies, those affecting the wealthy as well as the poor. The book also directs attention to gender, and the interests of people of color. She
43、 brings together data from a range of capitalist countries, including the United States, the U.K., Australia, Sweden and Japan and explores the similarities and differences of their policies. D. Sweaters In recent years, regions of rural Mexico have specialized in small-scale industry, much of which
44、 rests on womens labor. Hidden in peoples houses or backstreet workshops, the scale and nature of the industrialization process is difficult to fathom. This book explores the histories, actions and opinions of people from one small centre during an earlier phase of violence and poverty and in later
45、years when workshops have flourished. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: Tawnya Geisbush wakes up every day fighting two battles one against breast cancer, the other against her insurance company. Its hard to say which is the more stubborn opponent. Geisbush, 32, a veterinarian（兽
46、医） from Phoenix, Arizona, was recently found to be suffering from metastatic（转移的） breast cancer. Eventually she and her doctors agreed they should attack the advancing cancer with what many people believe is the most effective weapon available: high-dose chemotherapy accompanied by a transplant of s
47、tem cells. No sooner did she steel herself for the procedure, however, than her insurer, the Trustmark Insurance Cooperation, made things more complicated. Since the $90,000 treatment was still considered experimental, qualification for coverage was not legally allowed under the terms of Trustmarks
48、policy. “Whether its a $100,000 charge or a $10 charge, we make our decisions based on that contract language,” says Lloyd Sarrel, Trustmarks assistant vice president for benefits. Geisbush, understandably, has bigger things than contracts on her mind. “Im in a fight for my life,” she says. “I shoul
49、dnt be having this fight with the insurance company.” Geisbush is not alone. In the past decade, more than 12,000 American women have taken their chances with transplant therapy, in many cases only after battling their insurers to make sure the bills got paid. Lately, public opinion plus a few multimillion-dollar lawsuits had begun to change that. Ten states require insurers to cover transplants; most health plans elsewhere in the U.S.
