Part II CLOZE TEST (10 minutes, 10 points)

Directions:

Read the passage through. Then go back and choose

one item of suitable word(s) marked [A], [B], [C] and

[D] for each blank in the passage. Mark the

corresponding letter of the word(s) you have chosen

with a single bar across the square brackets on your

Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Every

man

unfolds

a

distinct

character

over

which

circumstances and

education have only the most limited

__21__.

No

two

people

will

have

ever

__22__

the

same

conclusions

from

the same experiences, but each must interpret events and __23__

them

into

the

mosaic

of

his

own

life

pattern.

Human

nature

is

ever true to itself, not to the systems of faith or education.

Each __24__ to the structure of the mold into which the soul

was

cast

at

the

time

of

its

individualization.

The

qualities

__25__

in

one

remain

as

potentials

whether

they

have

a

chance

to develop or not. Under pressure, or change of interest, they

can

partially

or

wholly

__26__

from

view

for

considerable

periods

of

time;

but

__27__

can

permanently

modify

them,

nothing can obliterate them.

Although

man

is

potentially

__28__

he

is

far

from

being

actually so. If he were actually perfect there would be __29__

for

preachers,

teachers

and

humanitarians

to

do;

no

use

for

churches,

schools,

courts

and

prisons.

__30__

while

it

is

impossible

to

change

human

nature,

it

can

be

studied,

controlled

and

directed

and

this

should

be

the

supreme

__31__

of our religious, educational and social institutions.

Man is perfect as a seed is perfect, germinally. The spirit

is

perfect,

but

when

it

__32__

human

structures,

it

participates

in

the

imperfections

of

__33__;

and

during

its

association

with

matters

takes

on

a

mortal

weakness,

desires

and

limitations.

But

the

spirit,

the

inner

man,

remains

untouched

and

undefiled

by

evil.

Only

the

outer

man---the

personality

and

the

physical

body ---becomes

imperfect,

due

to

ignorance, wrong thinking and __34__ of the laws of being. The

outer

man,

too,

was

originally

perfect,

__35__

man

has

so

desecrated and abused it that today it is a far __36__ from the

original model.

Man

’

s

inherent

goodness,

moreover,

is

__37__

by

his

countless

acts

of

heroism,

unselfishness

and

sacrifice.

Human

nature

does

not

and

cannot

__38__

but

unfolds

its

inherent

pattern. Man

has a nature

and its

__39__

can be

known. We can

only endeavor __40__ man as he is.

Part III READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 50 points)

Directions:

In this part of the test, there are six short

passages for you to read. Read each passage carefully,

and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best

answer [A],[B],[C] or [D], and mark the corresponding

letter with a single bar across the square bracket on

your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet

.

Passage One

Acting is such an over- crowded profession that the only

advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going

on the stage is

discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the

chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to

begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who

show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two

years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a

repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This

means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre:

painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of

the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very

hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny.

But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy,

waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or

perhaps in films or television.

Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to

fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie

Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a

bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her

one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big

car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the

girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio

to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she

got angry and said she would call the police. It took the

producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious.

Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the

next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary

lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part

opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course,

she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world- famous.

But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

41. According to the passage, the main reason why young people

should be discouraged from becoming actors is ______.

[A] actors are very unusual people

[B] the course at the drama school lasts two years

[C] acting is really a hard job

[D] there are already too many actors

42. An assistant stage manager's job is difficult because he

has to ______.

[A] do all kinds of stage work [B] work for long

hours

[C]

wait for a better company

[D] act well

43. According to the context, the sentence

with the stage in their blood are happy

first paragraph means ______.

[A] they don't care if their job is hard

[B] they like the stage naturally

[C] they are born happy

[D]

they are easily satisfied

44. Conie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.

[A] learning some lessons about the art of speaking

[B] playing her part in the

[C] successfully matching the most famous actors

[D] a

cting a leading part with a most famous actor at that

time

45. The phrase

______.

[A] all at once

[B] once for a long

time

[C] once in a while [D] once and for all

Passage Two

Desegregation of higher education has produced significant

improvements in education for all Americans. The opening up of

segregated colleges and universities to students of all racial

and ethnic backgrounds came about only as the result of many

forms of prolonged struggle in the courts, in the streets, and

on campuses.

The efforts to open up higher educational opportunities for

blacks in

historically white institutions also led to expanded

opportunities

for

lower-

and

middle-class

white

students,

especially

at

institutions

that

adopted

“open

admissions”

policies

of

accepting

all

high

school

graduates.

Between

1960

and

1981,

while

the

number

of

black

students

between

the

ages

of eighteen and twenty-four enrolled in college increased from

134,000

to

over750,000,

the

number

of

white

students

in

the

same

age

group

grew

from

just

over

2

million

to

over

6.5

1960 more than one-half of blacks attending colleges

were enrolled at

historically black

institutions. By 1981 that

percentage had declined to just 18 per cent. Most of the blacks

enrolled

in

traditionally

white

institutions,

however,

were

at

two-year

community

colleges

or

at

four-year

public

colleges

that were becoming or had already become

predominantly black.

Desegregation

of

higher

education

produced

difficult

problems

for

historically

black

institutions

that

had

always

struggled under

great hardship to provide higher education for

blacks

when

blacks

had

been

barred

from

white

institutions.

Historically

black

institutions,

however,

have

continued

to

produce

a

high

percentage

of

the

most

educationally

and

professionally

successful

blacks

in

the

United

States.

Meanwhile,

blacks

in

predominantly

white

institutions

have

achieved

notable

progress,

but

they

have

also

encountered

various problems.

College

completion

rates

for

young

blacks

have

increased

substantially,

but

they

are

only

about

one-half

the

rate

for

young whites. In 1981, for example, 11.5 percent of blacks aged

twenty-five

to

twenty-nine

and

21.3percent

of

whites

in

that

age group had completed college.

Blacks

continue

to

be

substantially

underrepresented

in

graduate

and professional schools

in the United States. During

the early 1980s blacks comprised about 6 percent of students in

graduate

school

and

medical

school

and

about

4

percent

of

all

law

school

students.

Blacks

also

received

about

4

percent

of

all

doctoral

degrees,

but

over

half

of

these

degrees

were

conferred

in

one

discipline

—

educat ion.

In

general,

since

the

cry of “reverse

discrimination” was raised during the middle

of

the

1970s,

black

progress

in

higher

education

has

been

slowed and perhaps even reversed.

46. What is the main idea of the passage?

[A]

Desegregation

of

higher

education

produced

many

difficulties for historically black institutions.

[B]

The

opening

up

of

higher

educational

opportunities

for

blacks

led

to

expanded

opportunities

for

white

students

too.
