II. Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Section 1 Multiple choice (20 points)

Directions: In this section there are two reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and

then mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

Passage A

These days we hear a lot of nonsense about the ‘great classless society’. The idea that the twentieth century is the

age of the common man has become one of the great cliches of our time, The same old arguments are put forward in

evidence. Here are some of them: monarchy as a system of government has been completely discredited. The monarchies

that survive have been deprived of all political power. Inherited wealth has been savagely reduced by taxation and, in

rule; the great millennium has become a political reality, But has it? Close examination doesn’t bear out the claim.

It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be leveled out if you provide everybody with

the same educational opportunities. (It is debatable whether you can ever provide everyone with the same educational

opportunities, but that is another question.) The fact is that nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for

spread of education has destroyed the old class system and created a new one. Rewards are based on merit. For

‘aristocracy’ read ‘meritocracy’; in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained.

Genuine ability, animal cunning, skill, the knack of seizing opportunities, all bring material rewards. And what is

the first thing people do when they become rich? They use their wealth to secure the best possible opportunities for their

children, to give them ‘a good start in life’. For all the lip service we pay to the idea of equality, we do not consider this

wrong in the western world. Private schools which offer unfair advantages over state schools are not banned because one

of the principles in a democracy is that people should be free to choose how they will educate their children. In this way,

the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent: an able child from a wealthy home can succeed far more

rapidly than his poorer counterpart. Wealth is also used indiscriminately to further political ends. It would be almost

impossible to become the leader of a democracy without massive financial backing. Money is as powerful a weapon as

ever it was.

In societies wholly dedicated to the principle of social equality, privileged private education is forbidden. But even

here people are rewarded according to their abilities. In fact, so great is the need for skilled workers that the least able

may be neglected. Bright children are carefully and expensively trained to become future rulers. In the end, all political

ideologies boil down to the same thing: class divisions persist whether you are ruled by a feudal king or an educated

peasant.

21. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Equality of opportunity in the twentieth century has not destroyed the class system.

B. Equality means money.

C. There is no such society as classless society.

D. Nature can’t give you a classless society.

22. According to the author, the same educational opportunities can’t get rid of inequality because

A. the principle ‘survival of the fittest’ exists

B. nature ignores equality in dispensing brains and ability

C. material rewards are for genuine ability

D. people have the freedom how to educate their children

23. Who can obtain more rapid success?

A. Those with wealth.

B. Those with the best brains.

C. Those with the best opportunities.

D. Those who have the ability to catch at opportunities.

24. Why does the author say the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent?

A. Money decides everything.

B. Private schools offer advantages over state schools.

C. People are free to choose the way of educating their children.

D. Wealth is used for political ends.

25. According to the author, ‘class divisions’ refers to

A. the rich and the poor

B. Different opportunities for people

C. Oppressor and the oppressed

D. Genius and stupidity

【答案与解析】

21.A文章第一段对无阶级社会的论点进行了反驳（Closeexaminationdoesn’tbearouttheclaim），第二段提出教

育的普及摧毁了老的阶级体制，却又创造了新的阶级体制。后面两端集中论述了金钱的作用。因此，文

章的主旨是说二十世纪平等的机遇没有摧毁阶级制度，选A。

22. B 文中第二段的第三句提到，“nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of

equality”，即自然在赋予人智慧和能力时是不平等的。因此，本题选B项。

23. A 第三段的倒数第四句提到，an able child from a wealthy home can succeed farmore rapidly than his poorer

counterpart，也就是说富裕家庭的孩子比贫穷的孩子更快获得成功，因此选A项。

24. A 第三段的第三句提到， They use their wealth to secure the best possible opportunities for their children, to give

them‘agood start in life’，也就是说，用金钱为孩子不断提供更好的机会，因此金钱的作用十分重要，因

此选A项。

25．A最后一段的最后一句提到，无论你是在封建帝王统治时期，还是在受过教育的农民统治时期，阶级划分

（classdivision）始终存在，这里的classdivision，指的是富人和穷人，因此选A项。

Passage B

The tourist trade is booming. With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop

between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible

for us to visit each other’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour’, reserved for only the very rich,

is now within everybody’s grasp. The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy

a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what’s the

sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?

Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their

clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at

international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives

from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the

organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own;

and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads

to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universities: are

eat paella, but fish and chips.

The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people

of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take

five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five

adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national

characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your

travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly

unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’ of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot’. You

only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can

you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?

Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind

us to the basic fact—how trite it sounds!---That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same

time all unique.

26. The best title for this passage is

A. tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations

B. tourism is tiresome

C. conducted tour is dull

D. tourism really does something to one’s country

27. What is the author’s attitude toward tourism?

A. Apprehensive.

B. Negative.

C. Critical.

D. Appreciative.

28. Which word in the following is the best to summarize Latin people shout a lot?

A. Silent.

B. Noisy.

C. Lively.

D. Active.

29. The purpose of the author’s criticism is to point out .

A. conducted tour is disappointing

B. the way of touring should be changed

C. when traveling, you notice characteristics which confirm preconception

D. national stereotypes should be changed

30. What is “grand tour” now?

A. Moderate cost.

B. Local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.

C. People enjoy the first-rate comforts.

D. Everybody can enjoy the grand tour”.

【答案与解析】

26．A第一段的最后一句提到，如果世界上的国家仍然对彼此一无所知，那么这种大规模人口交换的意义是什

么呢？文中第二、三段的内容围绕缺乏对旅行地的了解以及国家之间的刻板印象展开，因此，A项（旅

行不会促进国家间的了解）为正确答案。

27. C 由全文可知，作者认为旅行中存在一些问题，例如缺少与当地居民的接触，容易产生对于某个国家和民

族的误解和刻板印象等。总体来说，作者的态度是批评的（critical）。

28. B 倒数第二段的倒数第二句提到，你需要交几个外国朋友才会发现国家的刻板印象是多么荒谬和有害（to

understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are）。结合题中所说的“shout a lot”可知，答案应

是吵闹的（noisy）。

29. B 作者在在第二段开头指出，之所以缺乏对旅行地的了解是因为旅游组织故意避免游客和当地居民接触

（protecttheir clients from toomuchcontactwith the local population.）。由此可推断，作者认为，旅行的方

式应该改变。因此，选B项。

30. D 第一段的第五句提到，“What was once the ‘grand tour’， reserved for only the very rich， is now within

everybody’s grasp”，意思是，曾经只有最富有的人专享的“大旅行”现在人人都可获得。因此，选D项。

Section 2Answering questions (20 points)

Directions: Read the following passages and then answer IN COMPLETE SENTENCES the questions which follow each

your ANSWER SHEET.

Questions 1-3

Kidnappings for ransom, drug-smuggling, fake invoicing and extortion are just a few of the ways in which terrorists

raise cash for their nefarious deeds. Some scams take advantage of globalization: American officials found that

Hizbullah, a Lebanese movement, raised funds by exporting used cars from America and selling them in West Africa.

Governments are understandably keen to cut terrorists off from sources of cash, and have been taking drastic steps

to punish banks for involvement in financing dangerous people. In 2012 the American authorities imposed a s$1.9 billion

fine on HSBC, a British bank, for lax controls on money-laundering. Big fines have been meted out to Barclays, ING

and Standard Chartered for money-laundering or sanctions-busting. BNP Paribas of France is said to be facing a fine of

as much as $10 billion in America. Such stiff penalties are popular, and provide great press for ambitious prosecutors.

Cut the flow of money to terrorism, their thinking goes, and it will wither.

Yet there are two problems with this approach. First, the regulations are so demanding and the fines so large that

banks are walking away from countries and businesses where they perceive even the faintest whiff of risk. American

regulators, for instance, require banks to know not only who their customers are, and what they plan to do with their cash,

but also the identities and intentions of their customers’ customers. Correspondent-banking relationships—the arteries of

global finance that allow people and firms to send money from one country to another, even if their own bank does not

have a branch there—are therefore collaps ing. Some of world’s biggest banks privately say they are cutting as many as a

third of these relationships.

This retreat will have little impact on the rich world. Britain’s Lloyds Banking Group, say, will probably always

transact with Wells Fargo in America or ICBC in China. But it could prove devastating to small, poor countries whose

banks lose their big international partners just because the costs of checking up on them outweigh the paltry profits they

generate. Some countries risk being cut off from the financial system altogether: British banks last year threatened to

close the last pipeline for money transfers into Somalia, Others will see the c osts of intermediation rise: bankers talk of a

tenfold increase in fees paid to send money to countries such as Tanzania. Cotton farmers in Mall and small exporters in

assistance in countries such as Syria are struggling to get banks to let them send aid. Making it harder to follow the

money.

Were all of this actually preventing terrorism it might be judged a fair trade-off. Yet-and this is the second problem

with this approach—it seems likely to be ineffective or even counter-productive. Terrorism is not particularly expensive,

and the money needed to finance it can travel by informal routes. In 2012 guards on the border between Nigeria and

Niger arrested a man linked to Boko Haram, a Nigerian terror group, with 35,000 in his underpants: laughable, except

that the group has killed around 1,500 people this year alone. Restrictions on banks will encourage terrorists to avoid the

banking system. That may hinder rather than help the fight against terrorism. A former spy complains that it has become

When the G20 meets later this year it should urge its members to accept the risk that even in well-regulated banking

systems money may find its way to terrorists. Banks should be given clear guidance on necessary safeguards, but not

held responsible for every breach.

1. Why does the American government impose fines on banks? How severe are the fines?

2. What impacts do the fines have on banking?

3. Why do the fines fail to prevent terrorism?

【答案与解析】

authorities imposed a $1.9billionfineonHSBC.BNPParibasofFranceissaidtobefacingafineofasmuchas$10

（由第二段的第三句可知，美国政府对银行进行罚款是因为银行涉嫌洗钱或违反制裁，对汇丰银行的罚款金额

为19亿美元，对法国巴黎银行的罚款额为100亿美元。）

2. The fines are so large that banks are walking away from countries and businesses where they perceive even the faintest

(由第三段的第二句可知，罚款对银行的影响是，银行都在远离国家和企业。）

3. Restrictions on banks will encourage terrorists to avoid the banking system and that may hinder rather than help the

Questions 4-5

CHINA’S biggest carmaker does not seem to be doing so badly, a first glance at SAIC’s third quarter results on

October 30th would suggest, Net profits rose by nearly 5% compared with a year earlier, to 6.8 billion Yuan ($1.1

billion). But SAIC, like the country’s many other domestic car firms, is not firing on all cylinders and is far from living

up to the hopes the government has invested in the state giant.

SAIC makes a quarter of the vehicles that crawl along the country’s congested roads, In the third quarter it sold

1.3m cars, 9% more than a year earlier. Overall Chinese demand, tempered by a cooling economy, grew by just 4%. But

SAIC’s success was mostly due not to cars bearing its own badges, but Volkswagen and General Motors models, made in

factories jointly operated with these two Western giants.

Foreign carmakers were forced to collaborate with Chinese ones as the price for entering what is now the world’s

largest automotive market. SAIC’s partnerships with VW and GM are flourishing, as are the other Chinese foreign joint

ventures. The government had hoped that, by now, domestic firms would have absorbed all they needed to know from

the foreigners about making and selling world-class cars, and be ready to get by without them.

But the success of the joint ventures has made the Chinese firms complacent. They have failed to develop their own

technology, styling or marketing capability, SAIC has long been losing money on its own-brand cars, which sell under

badges such as Roewe and MG (the latter a faded British brand it bought along with other parts of the collapsed Rover

Group). In the latest quarter the losses rose sharply, to around 2 billion Yuan. A vicious circle has set in: the poor

financial performance of Chinese firms’ own brands has sapped their will to invest in research and development to

improve their performance on the road and in the showrooms. Little wonder, then, that Chinese motorists spurn pleas for

patriotism and covet foreign-badged motors.

The government has tried to fix the problem by pressing the foreign carmakers to work with the locals to create new

brands combining international flair with Chinese characteristics. So far this has made little difference: Chinese brands

account for only about one-third of domestic sales, and their share continues to dwindle.

Chinese vehic les have not travelled well. Exports, mostly to poor countries where drivers care about price more

than image, were fewer than 600,000 in 2013, 10% lower than the year before. SAIC’s hopes that Rover Group’s brands

and technology would help it do better in rich countries have yet to be met. Three years after it relaunched the MG brand

in Britain, it is selling just a few hundred cars a month there. Likewise Geely, a smaller Chinese maker, has yet to see

much benefit from buying Volvo of Sweden.

China’s carmakers are still trying to improve. A recent survey from JD Power, a market-research firm, shows that

the quality gap with foreign rivals is closing. The Chinese firms are busy hiring Western designers to make their models

more distinguished. But like many of its peers, SAIC lacks foreign managers who have the skills to market cars abroad

and set up the service networks that buyers expect. No wonder the government’s ambition for China to boast two or three

world-class car firms, with badges as recognizable as Toyotas or Fords, remains a distant dream.

4. Please introduce SAIC briefly in your own words.

5. What are the problems China’s carmakers face?

【答案与解析】

4. SAIC is the biggest carmaker of China.

(由第一段的第一句可知，上汽集团是中国最大的汽车制造商。）

5. The Chinese carmakers are not able to develop their own technology, styling or marketing capability.

(由第四段的第二句可知，中国的汽车制造商面临的问题是不能发展自已的技术、款式和营销能力。）

III. Writing (30 points)

According to a recent survey of Chinese women, a majority of mothers born after 1990 want to be stay-at-home

moms. Many women are aware of the challenges of motherhood, especially when they have to juggle a full-time job

outside the home. Which is worthwhile, being a full time working or a stay at home mom?

What is your opinion about this?

Write an essay of about 4o0 words to express your views on the topic.

【参考范文】

To Be a Housewife or a Career Woman?

There is a long-running debate as to whether women should be stay-at-home moms or full time working moms.

Some argue that women should take more responsibilities for the family and they are supposed to stay at home to take

care of their husbands and children. Others believe that women should choose to be career women to realize their social

values. As far as I am concerned, either being a full time working or a stay-at-home mom is worthwhile, but it is better

for individual development of women to have a job.

housework for the family. Sometimes, women choose to be stay-at home moms just because the old and the biased idea

force them to do so. All men should share the housework with their wives and it will become less difficult for women to

balance their job and responsibilities for family.

job, women do not have any income and they must rely on their husbands, which may enable these women to be

dependent and unconfident. Because they are busy with the housework, they do not have much time in learning and

communication, and they may be detached from the society.

Thirdly, being career women or full time working moms will bring many benefits. The most direct benefit is the

increase of the family income and it will provide a better material condition for children. For women, the income means

their economic independence and they may become more confident. The second benefit is that people always realize

which makes life more meaningful. The third benefit can be shown that work can create challenges and opportunities. On

the one hand, different tasks require women to learn and to update their knowledge, and therefore, the work may enhance

their abilities and enable them to make progress; on the other hand, compared with staying at home, having a job means

having more opportunities to meet and to communicate with others like colleagues and clients which may become

friends.

In conclusion, women can choose to be stay-at-home moms or full time working moms, but being career women

will benefit themselves and their family better.
