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.

Passage Two

Questions 36 -40 are based on the following passage:

When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new

information.

Almost

at

once,

we

notice

his

appearance,

style

of

dress,

and

manner

of

speech.

Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin

to form some idea of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know form

your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information.

Instead

we

do

further

and

combine

them

into

a

unified

picture.

In

short,

we

form

an

overall

impression of each person we meet - an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable.

But

how,

precisely,

do

we

perform

this

task?

How

do

we

combine

so

much

different

information
