III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each)
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they only tell you half the truth. What they really mean is to get just education to provide the manpower for your society, but not so much what you prove an in embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you how to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24,000. While the full professors managed to earn just $23,030.
A ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s an umemployed or underemployed in this country wthan any part of the world.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or language or----worst of all---in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for where our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endless filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

A. will not be a disgrace to society
B. will become loyal citizens

D. both B. and C.

24. Which Of the following is not true?
A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high schools, nor did Edison
B. one must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree
C. the higher your education level, the more money in will earn
D. if you are too well-educated, you’ll be overeducated for society’s demands

25. The writer’s sees education as _____.
A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting the country’s demand for technical workers
B. a way to broaden wise horizons
C. more important than finding a job

1. an opportunity that everyone should have

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than with sharp dichotomies(一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

26. The passage mainly discusses________.
A. two different societies
B. the necessity of social change
C. certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occur
D. certain factors that promote social change
27. ___________is one of the factors that tend to promote social change.
A. joint interest
B. advanced technology
C. less emotional people
D. different points of view
28. That expression “greater tolerance”(paragraph 1) refers to _________.

1. greater willingness to accept social change
2. Quicker adaptation to changing circumstances
3. more respect for different beliefs and behavior
4. greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas

29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

1. social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and a motional aspects of society
2. disagreement with and argument about conditions tens to slow down social change
3. social change is more likely to occur in the material aspects of society
4. social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young

30. Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because__________.

1. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
2. people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty
3. people there are easy to please
4. people there are less disputatious

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
in reading the world’s great literature on human literature and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn(顽强的) and consistency. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.
On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and when to work in a power plant.
Then a friend was killed in an accident at work, shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.
In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior college in south bend, Ind. He got good enough grads to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.
Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. The next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting,” we want Rudy!” Soon others joined in. finally, at as the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-----and made the final tackle（阻截）.so his team won the game.
When I met Rudy seventeen years later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame Stadium, where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates that there’s no limit to wear your dream can take you.
31. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is_______

Self-esteem is a kind of energy, and when it is high, people feel like they can handle anything. It is what one feels when special things are happening or everything is going great. A word of praise, a smile, a good grade on a report card, or does something that creates pride within oneself can create these energy. When feelings about with the self have been threatened and self-esteem is low, everything becomes more of an effort. It is difficult to hear, see, or think clearly, and others seem rude, inconsiderate, and rough. The problem is not with others, it is with the self, but often it is not until and energies are back to normal that the real problem is recognized.

将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
自尊心是一种力量。当自尊心强时,人们感觉好像能够处理任何事情。这就是当特殊事情发生和一切进行得很顺利时一个人的感觉。1句赞扬的话、一个微笑、成绩报告卡上的一个好分数，或者做一件使自己引以为荣的事情，都能产生这种力量的。当自我感觉受到威胁，自尊心不足时，一切事情都在更大程度上变成了一种需要费力去做的负担指。很难听清楚、看清楚、想清楚，其他人都似乎没有礼貌、不体谅人、粗暴。问题并不在别人、而在自己。但常常是直到精神回到正常状态，人们才认识到真正的问题是什么。
