I
live
in
Albuquerque,
New

and
some
homeless
people
frequent
the

I

As a result, I

it didn’t feel right.
Three

the corner, and something deep
52
me said, “Just help him.”
53
I rolled down
my window,

enthusiasm, saying “God bless you, I only need 77

Reading Comprehension
(2x20)
Directions: There are 4 passages
in this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or incomplete statements. For
each of them there are four choices
marked A, B, C and D. You should decide
on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .
Passage 1
Having finished
her homework, Ma Li wants some music for
relaxation
①
. As
usual, she starts
her computer and goes
to to download music files. But this time she is
surprised when
an announcement about
protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the
screen. The age of free music
and
movie
downloads
may
have
come
to
an
end
as
Web
companies
like
Baidu
are
accused
of
pirating
copyright.
Lawsuits
have
been
filed
against
four
websites
offering
free
downloads.
In
September
2005,
a
Beijing
court
ordered
Baidu
to
pay
recording
company
Shanghai
Push
compensation for their losses. Baidu
was also told to block the links to the pirated
music on the
website. This caused a
heated discussion on Interact file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it
is not right to get copyrighted songs without
paying.
Downloaders may face lawsuits
or fines,” said an official.
Like
many
teens,
Huang
Ruoru,
an
18-year-old
girl
from
Puning
in
Guangdong
Province,
doesn’t think that getting music from
websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite
songs
downloaded from Baidu with her
friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to
feel a little
guilty about obtaining
others’ work without paying.
However,
other
teenagers
have
different
ideas.
Wang
Yafei,
a
Senior
2
girl
from
Jinan,
Shandong
Province
pointed
out
that
file
sharing
is
a
good
way
to
promote
pop
singers.
“If
I
download a song and
really
like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what
the recording companies
really should
concentrate on is improving their music, rather
than
pursuing
file-
sharers.”
61. Which of the following best
describes the passage?
A. Music on the
Internet is of better quality.
B.
Downloading material can be illegal.
C.
It’s good to get free music on the
Internet.
D
.
Baidu is a popular web company.
62. The
four web companies were put to court because
_________.
A. they got copyrighted
songs without paying
B.
they downloaded copyrighted music for people
C. they make copyrighted files for free
downloads
D. they offer free music on line
63. How do some of the teenagers feel
while downloading free music after the lawsuit?
A. A bit guilty.
B. A little
sad.
C. Extremely angry.
D. Awfully
sorry.
64. What’s the advantage of tile
sharing for recording companies?
A. Getting more money from web
companies.
B. Enabling
people to download favorite songs.
C.
Helping to improve the music.
D. Making pop
singers more popular.
65. It can be
inferred from the text that _________.
A. Web companies are still ignoring the
copyright laws.
B. Teenagers haven’t
got money to buy CDs.
C.
Teenagers are probably still downloading free
music.
D. Teenagers prefer CDs with
copyright to pirated music.

private
details,
such
as
marital
status,
income,
and
so
on,
for
their
own
reasons
．
It
would
not
be
the
first
time
that
someone
has
been
taken
in,
and
talk
shows
are
full
of
cheating
partners
who

dating over the Internet in their spare
time

Passage 3
The drug store was
closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about
to go home when his
new boss approached
him.
“Empty your pockets
please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm
voice.
Alfred pretended to
be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his
coat he withdrew a
make-up kit, a
lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said
the little gray
-haired man.
“Sorry,
sir.
Please
forgive
me.
It’s
the
first
time
I’ve
ever
done
such
a
thing,”
Alfred
lied,
hoping to gain the old
man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s
brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you
take me for a fool? Let’s see
what the
police have to say. But first I’ll call your
mother and let her know her son is heading to
jail.”
5
耶鲁专升本
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot
back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt
like a
child. He imagined his mother
rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in
tears. Yet he wanted
her to come
quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr.
Carr
was
surprised
when
Mrs
Higgins
finally
arrived.
She
was
very
calm,
quiet
and
friendly.
“Is Alfred in trouble?” she
asked.
“He’s been stealing
from the store,” the old man coolly
replied.
Mrs.
Higgins
put out
her hand
and
touched
Mr.
Carr’s arm
with
great
gentleness
as
if
she
knew just how he felt. She spoke as if
she did not want to cause him any more trouble.
“What do
you want to do, Mr.
Carr?”
The woman’s calm and
gentle manner
disarmed the once-angry
store-
owner. “I was going to
get a cop. But I don’t want to be
cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again,
and I’ll let it
go.” Then he warmly
shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for
his kindness, then mother and son left. They
walked
along the street in silence.
When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go
to bed, you fool.”
In his
bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen.
He felt no shame, only pride in his
mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he
thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how
great she
was, but was shocked by what
he saw.
His mother’s face looked
frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he
saw earli
er. Her lips
moved
nervously. She looked very old. There were tears
in her eyes.
This picture of his mother
made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He
saw all the
troubles he brought her and
the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It
seemed to him that this was
the first
time he had ever really seen his mother.
71.

following is true according to the passage?
A

sound big to hide his fear.

trap to catch Alfred stealing.
D
．

planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.

underlined word “disarmed” probably
mean?
A
．
annoyed
B
．
convinced
C
．
got over
D
．

73.
．

drugstore was ______

．
Carr

youth

his mother

Passage 4
Most
Americans
get
what
money
they
have
from
their
work;
that
is,
they
earn
an
income
from
wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however,
get most of their money from what they
own
—
their
stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of
property, or wealth. Although there are
few accurate statistics to go by,
wealth in American society appears to be
concentrated in very few
hands. More
than 20 percent of everything that can be
privately owned is held by less than one
6
耶鲁专升本
percent of the adult population and
more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20
percent of
American
adults.
The
plain
fact
is
that
most
Americans
have
no
wealth
at
all
aside
from
their
homes, automobiles, and a small amount
of savings.
Income in the
United States is not as highly concentrated as
wealth. In 1917 the richest 10
percent
of American families received 26.1 percent of all
income, while the poorest 10 percent
received
17
percent,
mainly
from
Social
Security
and
other
government
payments.
The
most
striking
aspect
of
income
distribution
is
that
it
has
not
changed
significantly
since
the
end
of
World War II. Although economic growth
has roughly
doubled real disposable
(
可自由使用的
)
family
income (the money left after taxes and adjusted
for inflation) over the last generation, the
size
of
the
shares
given
to
the
rich
and
the
poor
is
about
the
same.
By
any
measure
economic
inequality is great
in the United States.
The
reality behind these statistics is that a large
number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14
percent of the populati
on
was living below the federal government’s poverty
line, which at that
time was an annual
income of $$ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two
adults and two children. In
other
words, about one out of seven Americans over 31
million people was officially considered
unable
to
buy
the
basic
necessities
of
food,
clothes,
and
shelter.
The
suggested
poverty
line
in
1981
would have been an income of about $$11, 200 for a
family of four. By this relative definition,
about 20 percent of the population or
more than 45 million Americans are poor.
76
．
What does the
majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?
A
．
Their income
and savings. B
．
Their house,
cars and small amounts of savings.
C
．
Everything they
own in their homes.
D
．
Actually, they have no
wealth at all.
77
．
What is the
percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most
Americans?
A
．
Less than 25%.
B
．
More than 25%.
C
．
More than 75%.
D
．
Less than 20%.
78
．
Why is
economic inequality still great in the US in spite
of the economic growth?
A
．
Because the
economic growth has widened the gap of the family
income between the rich
and the poor.
B
．
Because
income
in
the
US
is
still
concentrated
in
the
hands
of
the
richest
10%
of
American families.
C
．
Because the
proportion of income received by the rich and the
poor remains almost the
same as in
1917.
D
