Passage 1

British food has a good reputation, but English cooking has a bad one. Iris difficultto

explain the re'on for this.Unformnately, however; superb raw ingredients are oftenmined h the

kitchen s0 that:they come to the table without any of theh' natural flavorand goodness.

This bad reputation discourages a lot of people from eating in an English restaurant.If they

do go to one: they ate usury full of prejudice against the food. Ks is a pity,because :there are::

excellent cookS'in England,exCellent restaurants, and excellenthome-cooking. How, then;has the

bad reputauon been built up.

Perhaps one reason iS that Bfitain's InduStrial Revolution occurred very early, in therrdddle

of the nineteenth century. As a result, the quality of food changed too. This(wasbecause Britain

stopped being a largely agricultural country. The population of the townsincreased enormously

between 1840 and 1.870, and_people could no longer grow. theirown food, or buy it fresh from a

farm. Huge quantities of food had to be taken to thetowns, and a lot of it lost its freshness on the

way.

This lack of freshness was disguised by "dressing up" the food. The rich middleclasses ate

long; elaborate meals which were cooked for them by French chefs. Frenchbecame, and has

remained, the official language of the dining room. Out-of-seasondelicacies were served in spite

of their expense,' for there, were a large number 'ofextremely wealthy people who wanted to

establish themselves socially. The "look" ofthe food was more important than its taste.

In the 1930s, the supply of servafftS began to decrease. People still tried to

producecomplicated dishes, however, but they economized on the preparation time. The Second

orld War made things even worse by making raw ingredients extremely scarce. As a

result, there were many women who never had the opportunity to choose a piece of meat

from a well-stocked butcher's shop, but were content and grateful to accept anything

that was offered to them.

Food rationing continued in Britain until the early 1950s. It was only after this had

stopped, and butter, eggs and cream became more plentiful, and it was possible to travel

' P' e

abroad again and taste other ways of preparing food, that the English md~fferenc to

eating became replaced by a new enthusiasm for it.

41 According to the author, it is difficult to explain .

~ A. why excellent ingredients are spoiled in the process of cooking

-B. why people do not like English cooking

C. why British food often has a natural flavor

D. why people prefer home-cooking to ready made food

42. The negative effect of Britain's Industrial Revolution on English cooking is that

A. the population in the countryside decreased dramatically

B. people no longer grew their own food on their own farms

C. the freshness of food was lost on the way to the cities

D. Britain was no longer an agnSculmral country

43 As a result of the Industrial Revolution,

A. more attention was given to the look of the food ....

B. French became the official language .in English restaurants

C. a large number of extremely wealthy people ate in French restaurants

D. out-of-season delicacies became very expensive

44. The Second World 'Wm' worsened the problem because

Passage 2

In his typically American open style of communication, Mr. Hayes confrontedIsabeta about

not looking at him. Reluctantly, she explained why. As a newcomer fromMexico, she had been

taught to avoid eye contact as a mark of respect to authorityfigures teachers, employers, parents.

Mr. Hayes did not know this. He then informedher that most Americans interpret tack of eye

contact as disrespect and deviousness.Ultimately, he convinced Isabela to try and change her habit,

which she slowly did.

People from many Asian, Latin American, and Caribbean cultures also avoid eyecontact as

a sign of respect. Many African Americans, especially from the South,observe this custom, too:A

master's thesis by Samuel Avoian, a graduate student atCentral Missouri State University, tells

how misinterpreting eye-contact customs canhave a negative impact when white football coaches

recruit African American playersfor the~ teams.

He reports that, when speaking, white communicators usually look away from thelistener,

only periodically glancing at them. They do the opposite when listening theyare expected to look

at the speaker all the time

ManyAfdcan Americans communicate inan opposite way. When speaking, theytend to

constantly stare at the listener; when listening; theYmostly lo0k away.' Therefore,if v&ite sports

recruiters are not informed about these significant difference, they can bemisled about interest and

attentiveness when interviewing prospective African Americanballplayers.

In mulficulmral America, issues of. eye'contact' have brought about social conflictsof two.

different kdnds: in ,many urban centers,.non-Korean customers .became angz-ywhen Korean

shopkeepers did not look at: them' directly. The customers translated thelack of eye contact as a

sign of disrespect,a habit blamed for contributing tothe openconfrontation raking place between

some Asians and African Americans in New York,Texas, and California. Many teachers too have

provided stories about classroomconflicts based on their misunderstanding Asian and Latin

American children,s lack of

eye contact as being disrespectful.

On the other hand, direct eye contact hasnow taken'on a newmeaning among theyounger

generation and across ethnic borders: Particularly in urban centers, when oneteenager looks

directly at another, this. is considered a provocation, Sometimes calledmad-dogging, and can lead

to physical conflict.

"' Mad-d0gging has become the source of many campus conf'ficts.: In one high school,it

resulted, in. a fight between Cambodian newcomers and African-American students.The

Cambodians had been staring at the other students merely to learn how Amerienas behave, yet the

others misinterpreted the Cambodians' intentions and the fight began.

Mad-dogging seems to be connected with the avoidance of eye contact as a sign ofrespect.

Thus, in the urban contemporary youth scene, if one looks directly at another,this disrespects, or

"disses," that person. Much like the archaic phrase "I demandsatisfaction," which became the

overture to a duel, mad-dogging may become a preludeto a physical encounter.

At the entrances to Universal'Studio's "City Walk" attraction in Los Angeles, theyhave

posted Code of Conduct signs. The second rule warns against "physically orverbally threatening

any person, fighting, annoying others through noisy or boisterousactivities or by unnecessary

staring .... "

D. are taught to avoid eye contact whenever talldng to the others

A. look at the speaker all the time

B. glance at the speaker periodically

~ A. Korean shopkeepers do not look at them directly

B. they expect a more enthusiastic recelSfi0n from the shopkeepers

C-. there are some social conflicts in' many urban centers

Passage 3

When television is good, nothing not the theatre, not the magazines, or

newspapers- nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you

to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay

there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or an2~hing else to distxact you and keep

your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you willobserve a vast

wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audienceparticipation shows,

formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood andthunder, mayhem, more violence,

sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen,private eyes, gangster, still more violence,

and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials thatscream and offend. And most of all, boredom. True,

you will see a few things you willenjoy. But they will be yery, very few. And ifyou think I

exaggerate, try it.

Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to Stretch, to enlarge

hecapacities of our children? Is there no room for programs to deepen the children'sunderstanding

of children in other lands? Is there no room for a children's news showexplaining something

~about the world for them at their level of understanding? Is thereno room for. reading g.the great

literature ..... ofthe past,teaching them the great-traditions offreedom?There are some f'me

children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massivedoses of cartoons, violence, and more

violence. Must these be your trademarks? Searchyour conscience and see whether you cannot

offer more to your young children whosefuture you guard so many hours each and every day.

There:: are many people inthis: great country, and you must serve all of us. You willget no

argument from me if you Say that, given a choice between a Western and asymphony, more

people will watch the Western. I like :Westerns and private eyes,too .-but a steady diet for the

whole country is obviously not in the public interest. Weall know that people .would more often

prefer to be entertained than stimulated orinformed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you

lookonly to popularity as a test ofwhat to broadcast. You are not only in show business; you are

free to communicate ideasas welt as to give relaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices,

more diversity,more alternatives. It is not enough to caret to the nation's whims you must also

servethe nation's needs. The people own the air. They own it as

much in prime evening timeas they do at six o'clock in the morning. For every hour that the people

give you~youowe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.

Passage 4

Some Of my classmates in the same dorm established a chatting group on the Net when

broadband was available on campus. Then everyone faced their own laptops and talked to each

other by sending messages in the chatting group in the same room. Their dorm was silent the

whole'night. the only sound came from tapping the keyboard. Before they went to bed that night,

all of them sighed and said, that's ridiculous."

Information Technology brings about revolufionary changes to human

communication. The Internet makes the world aglobal village; thatis to say, we can get in touch

with each other :swiftly regardless'of one's location. However, does the convenience in

commumication mean that we are actually getting closer? i don't think so. As the anecdote above

shows, access to broadband made my fellow classmatesfall in silence. The Cambridge

International Dictionary defines "comrn unication" as "various farther from each other to some

extent.

Mutual understanding is based on expression. However, expression doesnt necessarily lead to

soul touching communication and understanding. When we $ afrO,. with a mere acquaintance,

we normally conceal our true feelings. Thus, we don't establish communication with him,

because we do not need him to understand us. The era of cyberspace further demonstrates such

separation of form and content.

The Internet gives us nearly absolute freedom to speak and express ourselves. With the

prosperity of blog, there are, according to recent statistics, about 400,000 bloggers in China today,

Bloggers express themselves on the Net at their will, while others read their blog and give

comments once for a while. It seems that blog can make us touch upon the bloggers' inside world,

and make us know them better. However, things are not always that perfect.

Marly netJzens :are: abusing their right of free expression. Once you open the Explorer:and

browse a website, trash information about sex and violence hits our eyes. People scold and flirt in

the chatroom and Bulletin Board System (BBS).' When blog comes into being, netizens even

transfer such vulgarity into their personal spaces, and show it to the public.

In the era of the Informafion Technology, boom, the farthest distance On earth is no longer

die polar distance the. negative impacts brought about by cyberspace have imposed an unfilled

gulf between souls. Since we -carmot communicate to each other likebefore, the distance between

people's hearts has become the farthest distance on earth.56. The most ridiculous part of the

~ Passage 5

According to a recent publication of the Equal Employment Opportunity Corrunission, at

the present rate of ,'progress" it will take forty-three years tO end job discrimination--hardly a

reasonable timetable.

If our goal is educational and economic equity and parity-and it is then we need

affirmative action.to catch upi We are behihd as a result of discrimination and denial of

opportunity. There is one white attorney for every 680 wtfites, but only one black attorney for

every 4,000 blacks; one white physician for every 659 whites, but only one black physician for

every 5,000 blacks; and one white dentist for every 1,900 whites, but only one black dentist for

every 8,400 blacks. Less th,mi 1 percent of all.engineers or of all practicing chemists--is black.

Cruel and uncompassionate injustice created gaps like these. We need cre'ative justice and

compassion to help us close them.

Actually, in the U.S. context, "reverse discrimination" is illogical and a conradicfion in

terms. Never in the history of mankind has a majority, with power, engaged in programs and

written laws that discriminate against itself. The only thing whites are giving up because of

affirmative action is unfair advantage something that was unnecessary in the first place. Blacks are not making progress at the expense of whites, as news accounts make it

seem..There are 49 percent more whites in medical school today and 64 percent more whites in

law school than there were when affirmative action programs began somein fact, is exactly what

has happened in law and medical schools. In 1968, the year before affirmative action programs began to get under way, 9,571 whites and 282members of

minority groups entered U.S. medical schools. In 1976, the figures were14,213 and 1,400

respectively. Thus, under affirmative action, the number of "whiteplaces" actually rose by 49

percent: white access to medical training was not diminished,but substantially increased. The trend

was even more marked in law schools. In 1969,the first year for which reliable figures are

available, 2,933 minority-group memberswere enrolled; in 1976, the number was-up to 8,484. But

during the same period, lawschool enrollment for whites rosefrom 65,453 to 107,064 an increase

of 64 percent. Inshort, it is a myth that blacks are making progress at white expense.

Allan Bakke did not really challenge preferential treatment in general, for he madeno

challenge:to the preferential treatment accorded to the children of the rich, the alumniand the

facultv,or to athletes or the very talented only tominorities.

61. The author is for affirmative action

A. because there is discrimination and denial of opportunity in the U.S.

B. if we aim at educational and economic equity and parity

C. because it wAll take 43 years to end job discrimination

D. when there is no reasonable timetable in the U.S.

62. It requires to close the gap's between the whites and the blacks in the U.S.

A. one black attorney for ever)' 4000 blacks

B. a lot more black engineers and chemists

C, education and economic development

D. creative justice and compassion

63. Blacks are not ma Lng progress at the expense of whites, according to the author,because _

B. there are 49 percent more w!fites in medical school today already

C. whites, the majority in the U.S., will never discriminate against themselves

D. there are 64 percent more whites in law schools today

Passage 6

Globalizafion is a phenomenon and a revolution. It is sweeping the world withincreasing

speed and changing the global landscape into something new and different.Yet, like all such trends,

its meaning me,mmv,, development, and impact puzzie many. We talkabout globalization and

experience its effects, but few of us really understand the forcesthat are at work in the global

political economy.

When people use their cell phones, log onto the Internet, view events from aroundthe world

on live television, and experience varying cultures in their own backyards,they begin to believe

that this process of globalization is a good thing that will bring avariety of new and sophisticated

changes to people's lives. Many aspects of thistechnological revolution bring fun, ease, and

sophistication to people's daily lives. Yetthe anti'World Trade Organization (WTO) protests in

Seattle, Washington, in 1999 andWashington, D.C., in 2000 are g-raphic illustrations of the fact

that not everyone believesthat globalization is a good thing, Many Americans who have felt left

out of the globalecomic,omic boom, as well as Latin Americans, Africans, and Asians who feel

that theh'jobskitls and abilities are being exploited by multinational corporations (MNCs) in a

globaldivision of labor, believe that this system does not meet their needs. Local cultures that

believe

that Wal-Mart and McDonald's bring cultural change and harm rather thaninexpensive products

and convenience criticize the process. In this way, globalization,like all revolutionary forces,

polarizes people, alters the fabric of their lives, and createsrifts within and between people.

Many in the West, along with the prominent and elke arnong MNCs, educators, and

policymakers-,seem to have embraced glob alization. They argue that it helps to streamline

economic systems, disciplines labor and management, brings forth new technologies and ideas,

and fuels economic growth. They point to the relative prosperity of many Western counndes and

argue that this is proof:of globalization's posifiv effects They see Little of the problems the

critics identify. In fact, those who recognize somect structural problems in the system argue tfiat

despite these issues, globalizafion is like aacross the developing world, view globalization as an

economic and cultural wave thattears at the fabric of centuries-old societies. They see jobs emer=m= ~d disappem:ing ina matter of months, people moving across the landscape in record

numbers, elitesamassmg, huge fortunes while local cultures and traditions are swept away, ,'md

localyouth being seduced by promises of American material wealth and distanced from theirown

cultural roots. These critics look past the allure of globalization and focus on thedisquieting

impact of rapid and system-wide change.

The irony of such a far-ranging and rapid historical process such as globalization isthat

both proponents and critics may be fight. The realities of globalization are bothintriguingand

alanrdng. :'!As technology and the global infrastructure expand, ideas,methods, and:services are

developed and'disseminated to greater and greater numbers ofpeople. As a result, societies and
