Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.

It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person’s benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good can not be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system

has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we can not ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.

36． According to the passage, public goods are______. A．services enjoyed by all people B．what we can buy and sell in public

C．products that we make for national defense D．taxes paid by the people involved

正确答案：A 解析：本题为细节题。第二段第一句“A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use lf it for another person．”对公益作了明确定义，由此可见它是为人所共有的，即选项A；由第三段第一句“The market system does not work well in producing public goods．”可知产生公益时，市场规律行不通，因为它既不是产品，也不可买卖，故排除B、C；由文章最后一句“Therefore，we collect money for public goods by using taxes．”可知税收的一部分是公益基金，但税收并不等同于公益，所以D项也排除。

37． The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that______.

A．there will be no safety if there is no national defense B．all the people should be responsible for national defense C．a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society D．some public goods are more important than others

正确答案：C

解析：本题为例征题。此类型题常考例子所支撑的主旨，因此正确选项具有抽象性和概括性的特点。第二段开篇对公益下了定义，强调其共享性。国防是公益的一种形式，作者用它作例子说明这一特性，因此这一句是本段的主旨句，选项C与它最贴近。而A、B项是就事论事，D项对文章又过度延伸，因此是错误的。

38． The person who does not pay for a public good______. A．keeps himself from using its benefit B．cannot enjoy its benefit at any time C．fails to keep its benefit from being used D．enjoys its benefit all the same

正确答案：D

解析：本题为细节题。第三段第二句中的“can not”与“be kept from”为双重否定，相当于一个肯定句，即选项I)，或根据后文史密斯太太的例子也可得出D项；C项虽也是肯定句但语态不符(原文是被动语态，C项是主动语态)。

39． In the third paragraph the author explains______.

A．what role the market system plays in producing public goods B．how weak the market system is in producing public goods C．why some people refuse to pay for public goods D．what we can do to make use of the market system

正确答案：B 解析：本题为细节题，信息点定位在第二段第一句…“The market system does not work well in producing public goods．”(产生公益时，利用市场规律是行不通的)。A、D项均暗示市场规律仍在发挥作用，与原文不符；C项仪对例子就事论事，因此选B。

40． From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to______. A．ensure the continuous supply of public goods

B．reduce the difference between the rich and the poor C．get extra money to support public goods D．remind people of their duty

正确答案：A

解析：本题为细节题。由最后一段最后一句可知税收目的为公益筹款，即选项A。

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

Accidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to sec: an overloaded tray, a shell’ out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than that there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself. Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others. By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness. It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

41． This passage might be taken from A．a text book B．a science fiction C．a popular magazine

D．a report of a manufacturer

正确答案：C

42． “Accident-prone” here (in Para.2) means ______. A．liable to have accidents B．injured in accidents C．likely to die in accidents

D．responsible for road accidents

正确答案：A

43． The passage suggests that ______.

A．accidents mostly result from slippery roads

B．accidents are usually caused by psychological factors

C．doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories D．about 50,000 people lose their lives at work in Britain every day

正确答案：B

44． Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents in this passage?

A．Mood. B．Tiredness. C．Carelessness. D．Weather.

正确答案：D

45． Which do you think would be the best title for the passage? A．Accidents and Anxiety B．How Accidents Are Caused C．Human Factors in Accidents

D．How to Prevent Accidents on Roads and in Factories

正确答案：C

Task 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks.

46． Along with the grand view of the Great Wall, travelers to Beijing shouldn’t miss tasting the Beijing Roasted Duck. To enjoy the famous duck, the restaurant Quan Ju De is the best choice for you. It has multiple outlets in Beijing. The old restaurant first opened in 1860 . The duck here is said to be the best in Beijing, and the service is very good as well. Before you take up the menu, you might want to know more about how Beijing Roasted Duck is made and how it is served. The ducks are raised for the sole purpose of making the food. Force-fed, they are kept in cages which restrain them from moving about, so as to fatten them up and make the meat comparably tender. BeijingRoasted Duck is processed in several steps: first the ducks are rubbed with spices, salt and sugar, and then kept hung in the air for some time. Then the ducks are roasted in an oven, or hung over the fire till they become brown with rich grease perspiring outside and have a nice odor. Beijing Duck is always served in well-cut slices. The whole duck must be sliced into 120 pieces and every piece has to be perfect with the complete layers of the meat. Normally there are many dishes served with the duck, including a dish of fine-cut shallot bars, a dish of cucumber bars and finally a dish of paste-like soy of fermented wheat flour. Without these the dainty duck is surely in the shade. Beijing Roasted Duck You can go to the restaurant (46) to enjoy the famous duck.

Task 5Directions: The following is a passage. After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them.

Legal translation is one of the largest areas of our business. It stands to reason that any businessperson or individual must fully understand contracts they enter into, and we ensure that nothing is lost in the translation. And it is extremely important to have contracts translated by professionals: a current client of ours in the U.K. came to us after a terrible experience. They had signed a contract with a Mexican company having had it translated by a junior member of their staff who had studied Spanish at school. It transpired(为人所知) she missed out a paragraph, and mistranslated another. This later culminated(以...结果告终) in the company being liable for a payment of over $150,000. All this was a direct result of a clause totally unknown to its management team. Needless to say, this client now sends its legal translation work to us religiously! All of our legal translators are professional

linguists with extensive real-life experience of the legal world. Quite simply, anyone without such experience would not be qualified to understand a legal document in a foreign language and then convey its meaning in their own. Having said this, we are not lawyers. We can translate accurately and well, but we will not write a document that is legally binding. If this is what you require, we can help you find a lawyer in the country for which you are preparing the document. Our services are for information only when it comes to legal documents.

正确答案：Nothing is lost

解析：第一段最后一句说到我们(广告者)在翻译法律文件时保证不漏译内容。

正确答案：over $150,000

59． Without what cannot people understand and translate legal documents?Without___________ of the legal world.

正确答案：Extensive real-life experience 解析：第三段的两句句子告诉我们没有广博的现实经验是无法很好地理解并翻译法律文件的。

60． What will they do if one wants to write a legal document?They will___________.

正确答案：find a lawyer

解析：第四段的第三句说如果顾客需要写法律文件的话可以为他找一个律师。
