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 centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following
Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher
rate of return than any other investment available in the
developing world. Women’s education may be unusual territory for
economists, but enhancing women’s contribution to development is
actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with
its emphasis on incentives (), provides guideposts that point to an
explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an
education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in
their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic
contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into
somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as
less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while
their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy () becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a
vicious circle () of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater
earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different
set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children
and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring
that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her
daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation
of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The
vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous
Few will dispute that educating women has great
social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well.
Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the
wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each
additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by
the standard of other available investments, but they are just the
beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health
practices, including family planning.
author argues that educating girls in developing countries is
_________.
rewarding&&&&&&&&
troublesome&&&&&&&&&&&&&
expensive&&&&&&&&&
D) labor-saving
22. By saying “…the prophecy
becomes self-fulfilling…” (Lines 4-5, Para. 2), the author means
that __________.
girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond
girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at
girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams
girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys
author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous
circle when ________
women care more about education
parents can afford their daughters’ education
girls can gain equal access to education
family has fewer but healthier children
does the author say about women’s education?
It has aroused the interest of a growing number of
economists.
It will yield greater returns than other known
investments.
It is now given top priority in many developing
countries.
It deserves greater attention than other social issues.
passage mainly discusses __________.
unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing
the major contributions of educated women to society
the economic and social benefits of educating women
the potential earning power of well-educated women
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following
Psychiatrists () who work with older parents say that maturity
can be an asset in child rearing ---- older parents are more
thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with
their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older
parents find themselves balancing their limited financial
resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing
demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is
probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear.
Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means
parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For
many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.
Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it
takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy
will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his
athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t
mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps
() to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says
Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”
Often, older parents hear the ticking of another
kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and
older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They
worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need
help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says
Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those
little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be
alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she
Many late-life parents, though, say their children
came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing
years of fertility () treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy,
had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when
she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired
for years, “a sense of family.”
Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and
more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their
lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and
more ready to focus on parenting.”
26. Why do
psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child
Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s
Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their
Older parents are often better prepared financially.
Older parents can take better care of their children.
27. What does the author mean
by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”
(Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?
They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.
They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra
They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed
They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement
author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that
_________.
many people are young in spirit despite their advanced
taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy
older parents tend to be concerned about their aging
older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic
29. What’s
the biggest fear of older parents according to New York
psychologist Joann Galst?
Being laughed at by other people.
Slowing down of their pace of life.
Being mistaken for grandparents.
Approaching of death.
do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?
They thought they were an example of successful fertility
treatment.
Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a
They believed that children born of older parents would be
Not until they reached middle age did they think of having
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following
Interest in pursuing international careers has
soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic () personnel shortages that are causing companies
to search beyond their home borders for talent.
Professionals seek career experience outside of
their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the
need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may
want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity
and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to
another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second
When applying for a job, one usually has to submit
a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the
same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational
qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for
preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to
find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate
() culture, the country culture, and the culture of
the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to
embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is
a good place to start.
Educational
requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case
of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your
degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with
details about your studies and any related experience.
Pay attention to
the resume format you use---chronological or reverse-chronological
order. Chronological order means listing your “oldest” work
experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your
current or most recent experience first. Most countries have
preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no
specific guidelines, the general preference is for the
reverse-chronological format.
If you are
submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient
() uses British English or American English because
there are variations between the two versions. For example,
university education is often referred to as “tertiary education”
in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the
United States. A reader
who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume
contains errors.
Companies are hiring more foreign employees
because___________.
they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at
they find foreign employees are usually more talented
the need original ideas from employees hired overseas
they want to expand their business beyond home borders
author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas
___________.
is usually creative and full of initiative
aims to improve his foreign language skills
seeks either his own or his children’s development
is dissatisfied with his own life at home
it comes to resume writing, it is best to __________
know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes
follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting
learn about the company’s hiring process
take cultural factors into consideration
writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to
provide a detailed description of their study and work
experiences
give the title of the university degree they have earned at
highlight their keen interest in pursuing a “cross-border”
stress their academic potential to impress the decision
According to the author’s last piece of advice, the applicants
should be aware of ________
the recipient’s preference with regard to the format
B) the different educational
systems in the US and the UK
C) the differences between the
varieties of English
D) the distinctive features of
American and British cultures
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following
Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he
has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The
car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (), and a radio signal from a control centre miles
away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he
will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to
the car contains a mini-cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and
a GPS () satellite positioning receiver. If the car is
stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to
block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine
being restarted.
In the UK a set of technical fixes is already
making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime
has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it
would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a
car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more
than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their
engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they
receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition
() key. In the UK, technologies like this have
helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since
But determined criminals are still managing to
find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s
keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of
vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver
confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations
centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids
false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to
confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of
the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.
36. What’s
the function of the remote immobiliser fitted to a car?
To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.
To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it
To help the police make a surprise attack on the car
To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car
37. By saying “The pattern of
vehicle crime has changed” (Lines 1-2, Para.3), Martyn Randall
suggests that _________.
self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft
the thief has to make use of computer technology
it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the
the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years
is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal?
GPS satellite positioning receiver
unique ID card
special cellphone signal
coded ignition key
39. Why does the tracking
system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the
operations centre?
To give the driver time to contact the operations centre
To allow for possible errors in the GPS system
To keep police informed of the car’s movements
To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm
will the operations centre do first after receiving an
&&& A) Start the
tracking system.
Locate the missing car.
Contact the car owner.
Block the car engine.

The part of the environmental movement that draws
my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and
products. When we designed America’s first so-called “green” office

such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve

Unless you have
visited the southern United States, you probably have never heard
of Kudzu. Kudzu, as any farmer in the south will sadly tell you, is
a super-powered weed. It is a strong climbing plant. Once it gets
started, Kudzu is almost impossible to stop. It climbs to the tops
of the tallest trees. It can cover large buildings. Whole barns and
farm houses have been known to disappear from view. Wherever it
grows, its thick twisting stems are extremely hard to remove. Kudzu
was once thought to be a helpful plant. Originally found in Asia,
it was brought to America to help protect the land from being
swallowed by the sea. It was planted where its tough roots which
grow up to five feet long could help hold back the soil. But the
plant soon spread to places where it wasn't wanted. Farmers now
have to fight to keep it from killing other plants. In a way, Kudzu
is a sign of labor shortage in the south. Where there is no one to
work the fields, Kudzu soon takes over. The northern United States
faces no threat from Kudzu. Harsh winters kill it off. The plant
loves the warmth of the south, but the south surely doesn't love
it. If someone could invent some use for Kudzu and remove it from
southern farmland, his or her fortune would be assured.
11. What do we learn
about “Kudzu” from the passage?
12. What will happen
if the fields are neglected in the southern United
13. Why isn't Kudzu a
threat to the northern United States?
The word “university”
comes from the Latin word “universities”, meaning “the whole”.
Later, in Latin legal language, “universities” meant a society or
corporation. In the Middle Ages, the word meant “ an association of
teachers and scholars”. The origins of universities can be traced
back to the 12th to14th centuries. In the early 12th century, long
before universities were organized in the modern sense, students
gathered together for higher studies at certain centers of
learning. The earliest centers in the Europe were at Bolonia in
Italy, founded in 1088. Other early centers were set up in France,
the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The
first universities in Britain were Oxford and Cambridge. They were
established in 1185 and 1209 respectively. The famous London
University was founded in 1836. This was followed by the foundation
of several universities such as Manchester and Birmingham, which
developed from provincial colleges. It was in the 1960's that the
largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This
expansion took 3 basic forms: existing universities were enlarged,
new universities were developed from existing colleges and
completely new universities were set up. In Britain, finance for
universities comes from three source: the first, and the largest
source, is grants from the government, the second source is fees
paid by students and the third one is private donations. All the
British universities except one receive some government funding.
The exception is Buckingham, which is Britain's only independent
university.
14. What did the word
"Universities" mean in the Middle Ages?
15. Why was the 1960s
so significant for British Higher Education?
16. What is the main
financial source for British universities?
One of the biggest
problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called
Heifer International is working to improve the situation. The
organization sends farm animals to families and communities around
the world. An American farmer Dan West developed the idea for
Heifer International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain
where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving
because of the Civil War in that country. So Mr. West asked his
friends in the Unites States to send some cows. The first Heifer
animals were sent in 1944. Since that time more than 4 million
people in 115 countries have had better lives because of heifer
animals. To receive a Heifer animal, families must first explain
their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow
them to become self-supporting. Local experts usually provide
training. The organization says that animals must have food, water,
shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them,
the animals will not remain healthy and productive. Heifer
International also believes that families must pass on some of
their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each
person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every
family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that
animal's first female baby to other people in need. Families must
also agree to pass on the skills and training they receive from
Heifer International. This concept helps communities become
self-supporting.17: What does the speaker tell us about Mr.
West?18: What is the ultimate goal of Heifer International?19: What
are families required to do after they receive support from Heifer
International?20: What is the major achievement of Heifer
International?
