Part III: Reading Comprehension (40%) (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished
statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.
When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a specific distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come. If someone goes beyond this boundary, they will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.) This personal distance is not due to unpleasant body smell or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy (亲密) that is in disagreement with their relationship to the other individual.
Interestingly, the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than people in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are \the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don't try to close the gap.
Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for nodding acquaintances (相识的人). So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.
33. When two people talk to each other they A) always stand as close to each other as possible B) usually keep a certain distance between them C) pay no attention to the distance between them D) feel more comfortable if they are close enough

Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.
Last year I purchased a game for my boys and I played it with them. The trouble was that everyone Won the game. We all arrived at the end together. This seems great in theory, but where's the incentive (刺激) to keep playing? We played the game twice, and it has been there gathering dust ever since.
Without a potential winner, a game or contest loses its excitement. If there's nothing to compete for, the drive to do one's best is replaced by a \动力). It's part of human nature to be competitive; after all, survival of the fittest is the basis of evolution. A competitive spirit is the key to our success as adults, so why shouldn't we cultivate it in our children?
I'm not suggesting we set our children against each other in heated competitions in all aspects of life. We should guard against coaches who lose the spirit of good sportsmanship (运动员风格) in the heat of the game. But in the right situations, a healthy competition can teach our kids a lot about life. While games and contests illustrate the importance of drive and determination, they also teach our children how to lose. And with that comes other good lessons -- about learning from mistakes, searching for ways to improve and finding the will to try again.
38. We can learn from the first paragraph that the game bought by the author A) proved to be unchallenging C) caused trouble for children B) gathered dust very easily D) was played with lots of fun 39. The second paragraph mainly tells us that __ A) there is a potential winner in all games C) humans are competitive by nature B) only adults have a competitive spirit D) only children have a competitive spirit
40. The word \ A) strength B) energy C) ability D) spirit
41. According to the author, in a game or contest children should be encouraged A) to obey their coaches strictly C) to develop a competitive spirit B) to compete in all aspects of life D) to compete for nothing but a prize 42. What is important for a loser in the game? A) Competition. C) Survival. B) Self-determination. D) Self-improvement. Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.
Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common ancestor (祖先). \if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge.\
This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.
However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He

saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that \the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation.\
To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.
43. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feel A) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2? A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged. B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted. C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes. D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.
45. The phrase \ “ A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame for B) had the duty of D) was the cause of 46. According to Darwin's view, our psychology A) will change greatly in the future B) has nothing to do with evolution C) is mainly shaped by evolution
D) is shaped by our physical characteristics
47. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behavior? A) The characteristics of our culture. B) The mechanisms of our mind.
C) The way we perceive time and space. D) The way we live and choose mates. Passage Four
Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.
November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.
In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent.
The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.
If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'?. A) Electors are representatives of local and national races. B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.
C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.
D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly. 49. What should the electors d67
