Reading Comprehension

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. You should choose the best answer

to each question based on the passage.

Passage One

Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:

The

idea behind

“

the rule of

law

”

is that, it

is laws based on logical reasons and

clear thinking

that

should

govern

social

life.

“

We

live

under

a

rule

of

law,

not

of

men,

”

American

teachers

tell

their

students. The students accept the idea. They believe that

“

no man is above the law,

”

that laws apply

equally

to

all

people

no

matter

how

wealthy

they

are,

what

their

personal

connections

are,

or

what

their

stations in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many

foreigners

could

not

understand,

that

President

Richard

Nixon

should

be

removed

from

office

as

a

result

of his behavior in connection with what was called

“

Watergate scandal

”

. Nixon had broken the law and

therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.

The

belief

in

the

rule

of

law

goes

beyond

the

area

of

politics

to

other

areas

of

life

that

are

governed

by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with a government institution, for example, or to get

government

funding

for

a

research

project,

one

must

follow

published

procedures

and

show

that

one

meets

the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.

This not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations

where

laws

and

rules

are

to

be

obeyed.

They

may.

What

is

said

above

describes

the

ideal

with

which

Americans

agree.

In

reality,

connections

can

sometimes

help

a

person

get

a

government

job.

Rich

people

can

sometimes

go unpunished for illegal behavior that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general

the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that is does.

“

station s
