Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 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 decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage one
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In the past, a city’s major shopping district was in its downtown area. People could get downtown more easily than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1960s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.
As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was something almost impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.
To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers.
Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.
The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll（漫步）from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.
21. The first paragraph tells us that in the past ___B_____. A) few people drove cars to do shopping

23. Nowadays people prefer to go shopping in big malls because malls _____D___. A) are close to their homes
B) have much larger walking space C) can shelter people from sunshine D) are more pleasant for shoppers
24. The passage is mainly about ____A____. A) changes of people’s shopping habits B) the need for modern shopping centers C) people’s life in the center of big cities D) how to run a business in the suburbs
25. We can conclude from the passage that _____D___. A) suburban areas are beautiful and pleasant places
B) elevated trains will be built to connect shopping centers C) only city people visit big shopping centers
D) suburban people will have more shopping centers
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given blood 79 times. I wanted to continue to be a donor（献血者）. But entering a Red Cross clinic（诊所）in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans.
In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six times a year. In China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months.
In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1,083, and so on until the figure reached 10,046 in 1990, 14,016 in 1992 and more than double that the following year. There were 41,037 in 1994, and my statistics stop here. I?m so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that it?s a way to say, in a real communist spirit, “Brother, I love you”.
In fact, every time I give blood, I think of my blood running in a man or a woman’s veins（血管）. Through donation thirteen Chinese have become my relatives now. Giving blood is like giving birth. Some of these thirteen people may have died without my donation; doesn’t that make it worth becoming a volunteer（志愿者）? What makes me even happier is when I can convince a Chinese friend to come with me and become a donor too.
Things have become easier since May 1, 1996. A Hong Kong donor offered a well-equipped mobile unit to the Red Cross here. The vehicle stands in front of the Xidan Shopping Mall every Wednesday and Sunday morning, from May to the end of October. Donors just need a few minutes. I hope this public example will encourage new donors, and blood donation will become a social trend among the population.
26. When the writer first went to the Red Cross clinic in Beijing to donate his blood he was surprised ____. A) how he was respected by the people there B) what a good habit blood donation is
C) that donors only gave 200 ml each time in China
D) that most Chinese people were willing to donate blood
27. The number of voluntary blood donors in Beijing in 1993 is ____. A) more than 30,000 B) more than 28,000 C) more than 15,000 D) more than 14,000
28. According to the writer, more and more Chinese are giving blood free because _______. A) they know the advantage of blood donation B) they have learned how to donate blood C) they have realized its great significance
D) they know it’s a way to show their generosity
