Part Ⅲ: Reading Comprehension （30%）
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D), and
decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER
SHEET with a single line through the center.
Question 46-50 are based on the following passage.
English is now the international language for airline pilots, scientists, medical
experts, businessmen and many others. Consequently, more and more people are
learning it. The BBC's English teaching radio programs are broadcast daily to four
continents and supplied to radio stations in 120 countries. Films and video are on the
air or used in institutions in over 100 countries. All this helps to add more speakers to
the estimated 100 million who use English as a second language. The rush to learn
English has reached even China. The main reason for the upsurge in interest is the
recent increase in China's contacts with the outside world.
Unlike many other widely used languages, English can be correctly used in very
simple form with less than one thousand basic words and very few grammatical rules.
This was pointed out in the 1920's by two Cambridge scholars, Ogden and Richards,
who devised a system called EnglishAnother reason for the popularity of
English is that English-speaking countries are spread throughout the world. An
estimated 310 million people in Britain. U. S. A. , Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc.
use English as their mother tongue. Also in former British colonial areas in Africa and
Asia where many local languages are spoken, no common language has been found
which would make a suitable substitute for English.
In Delhi, although nationalists would prefer to phase out the use of English, the
man from South India finds English more acceptable than Hindi, while the northerner
prefers English to any of the southern languages. Turning from India to Africa, a
similar problem exists. However reluctant African nations are to use English and, as it
were, subject themselves to a kind of imperialismhere seems to be no
alternative language which will do the job of communication effectively.
The view that spreading the use of English is entirely beneficial has its opponents.
Some teachers who have returned from overseas consider it creates a wider gap
between those who are educated and those who have little or no education.
Nevertheless, in many parts of the world, the technical and scientific knowledge
needed to develop a country's resources and improve people's living conditions, is just
not available in the mother tongue. A second language opens the door to the
would-wide sharing of skills and discoveries in science, engineering and medicine.
As for the future, it seems certain that English in one form or another will be
spoken by far more people than it is today. It will doubtless continue to change and
develop as a living language always does.
46. Why do many 3rd World people oppose the use of English in their countries?
A) They consider it a form of cultural imperialism.
B) The English language has produced racism.
C) Other languages are easier to learn.
D) They oppose modernization in general.
47. The growing interest in English among the Chinese people is due to ______ .
A) China's opening up to the outside world
B) their intelligence and industry
C) the skill of foreign teachers
D) all of the above
48. The linguistic conditions of Africa and India as presented in this passage ______ .
A) bear no relation to one another
B) reflect basic cultural differences
C) are basically the same,
D) are fundamentally opposite
49. The spreading use of English is _______ .
A) entirely beneficial
B) largely accidental
C) of debatable value to developing nations
D) both A and C
50. Possible dangers from the spread of English to developing countries include all of
the following except _______ .
A) industrial sabotage
B) deepening class divisions
C) cultural imperialism
D) diverting attention from the plight of the impoverished masses
Question 51-55 are based on the following passage.
Jonathan Rivers lived alone in a neat, two- storey, semi-detached house in
Compton Street. Like many bachelors approaching middle age，he was getting rather
set in his ways．He caught the same train to London every morning，ate his lunch in
the same crowded restaurant near the office where he worked and always came home
on the 6:00 train．People were so used to seeing Jonathan set off at a quarter past
eight，dressed in a simple dark suit，wearing a black bowler hat and carrying a rolled
umbrella on his arm，that they said you didn't need to wear a watch if you lived in
Compton Street．
Ever since Jonathan had set up house in Compton Street，he had looked after it
very carefully．He worked hard in the garden every Sunday and set out to impress the
neighbors with his flower beds and lawn．Before he left the house in the morning
she carefully closed all the doors downstairs，opened some windows to let the air in
and locked the front door．Everything Jonathan did was tidy and systematic．
One summer evening Jonathan returned home as usual at five minutes to seven
precisely. When he opened the front gate he immediately noticed something
strange． There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flower beds．Jonathan
was just going to blame the milkman or the postman when he noticed that one of the
white lace curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place．Jonathan never left
anything out of place．
He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly．He listened carefully for
a few moments but could hear nothing．The front-room door was half-open. Jonathan
