Part II Reading Comprehension (20 points)
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each questions 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 1
The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world?s technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.
Since 1976, employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds——the near term source of future PHDs is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields——law, medicine, business, etc. While the number of U.S. PHDs in science and engineering declines, the award of PHDs to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.
Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor?s and Master?s degree holders. Too often, promising PHD candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education, find the attraction of industry irresistible.
11. The U.S. will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ____B____. A. the number of PHD degree holders is declining B. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing C. the number of 22-year-olds is declining D. scientists and engineers are not employed
12. The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from ____C____ . A. technology
B. foreign nationals
C. such fields as law, medicine and business D. postgraduates
13. Large-scale enterprises now need ___A____. A. bright graduates and postgraduates B. new inventions
C. advanced technology D. engineers
14. Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PHD degree because ____D_____. A. they are not encouraged to be engaged in science B. industry does not require PHD holders C. they have financial difficulties
D. they will spend much time and energy completing PHD.
15. PHD candidates “find the attraction of industry irresistible” means that ____B_____.
A. they find industry is attracting more and more college students
B. they don?t think they can prevent themselves from working for industry C. they cannot resist any attraction from all sides
D. they cannot work for industry any longer
Passage 2
The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, it is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you?re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it?s a lot.
Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you?re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don?t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we?ll save more for tomorrow.
16. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people ___C___.
A. the disadvantages of working in an office B. the waste produced in an office
C. to save resources when working in an office

17. How many kinds of waste are mentioned in the passage？ C
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five 18. From the passage we can infer that in the office ___B___.
A. using computers is a waste of resource
B. many people don?t turn off the computers after using them C. computers are run by electricity
D. a computer is not a must for working
19. It is suggested that we use both sides of the paper at the copier because__C____.
A. we are short of paper
B. the printing is not important C. we should save paper
D. we have to pay for the paper
20. The underlined word mugs is most likely to be__B____.

Part II Reading Comprehension (20 points) Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each questions 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 1
Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3000 U.S. adolescents（青年人）will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.
Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percents, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent . Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.
11. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by __B___. A. traffic accidents
B. smoking-related disease C. murder D. all of these
12. Every day there are over __D___high school students who will become regular smoker. A. 75 B. 23 C. 30 D. 3000 13. By “dropout” the author means___B___. A. students who failed the examination B. students who left school C. students who lost their way
D. students who were driven out of school
14. The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ____D____. A. NCI has taken effective measures
B. smoking is prevented among high school seniors C. there are many smokers who have died of cancer D. none of these
15. What is implied but not stated by the author is that ____B____.
