PartIII　Reading　Comprehension　(35　minutes)　
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.　
Passage　One　
Questions　51　to　55　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
Long　after　the　1998　World　Cup　was　won,　disappointed　fans　were　still　cursing　the　
disputed　refereeing　(裁判)　decisions　that　denied　victory　to　their　team.　A　resear　
cher　was　appointed　to　study　the　performance　of　some　top　referees.　
The　researcher　organized　an　experimental　tournament　(锦标赛)　involving　four　youth　teams.　Each　match　lasted　an　hour,　divided　into　three　periods　of　20　minutes　during　which　different　referees　were　in　charge.　
Observers　noted　down　the　referees\'　errors,　of　which　there　were　61　over　the　tourn　
ament.　Converted　to　a　standard　match　of　90　minutes,　each　referee　made　almost　23　[Page]
mistakes,　a　remarkably　high　number.　
The　researcher　then　studied　the　videotapes　to　analyse　the　matches　in　detail.　Sur　
prisingly,　he　found　that　errors　were　more　likely　when　the　referees　were　close　to　the　incident.　When　the　officials　got　it　right,　they　were,　on　average,　17　meters　away　from　the　action.　The　average　distance　in　the　case　of　errors　was　12　meters.The　research　shows　the　optimum　(最佳的)　distance　is　about　20　meters.　
There　also　seemed　to　be　an　optimum　speed.　Correct　decisions　came　when　the　referees　were　moving　at　a　speed　of　about　2　meters　per　second.　The　average　speed　for　errors　was　4　meters　per　second.　
If　FIFA,　football\'s　international　ruling　body,　wants　to　improve　the　standard　of　
refereeing　at　the　next　World　Cup,　it　should　encourage　referees　to　keep　their　eyes　on　the　action　from　a　distance,　rather　than　rushing　to　keep　up　with　the　ball,the　researcher　argues.　
He　also　says　that　FIFA\'s　insistence　that　referees　should　retire　at　age　45　may　be　
misguided.　If　keeping　up　with　the　action　is　not　so　important,　their　physical　condition　is　less　critical.　

51.　The　experiment　conducted　by　the　researcher　was　meant　to　_______.　
A)　review　the　decisions　of　referees　at　the　1998　World　Cup　
B)　analyse　the　causes　of　errors　made　by　football　referees　
C)　set　a　standard　for　football　refereeing　
52.　The　number　of　refereeing　errors　in　the　experimental　matches　was　_______.　
A)　slightly　above　average　B)　higher　than　in　the　1998　World　Cup　
C)　quite　unexpected　D)　as　high　as　in　a　standard　match　
53.　The　findings　of　the　experiment　show　that　_______.　
A)　errors　are　more　likely　when　a　referee　keeps　close　to　the　ball　
B)　the　farther　the　referee　is　from　the　incident,　the　fewer　the　errors　
C)　the　more　slowly　the　referee　runs,　the　more　likely　will　errors　occur　
D)　errors　are　less　likely　when　a　referee　stays　in　one　spot　
54.　The　word　\"officials\"　(Line　2,　Para.　4)　most　probably　refers　to　_______.　
A)　the　researchers　involved　in　the　experiment　
B)　the　inspectors　of　the　football　tournament　
C)　the　referees　of　the　football　tournament　
D)　the　observers　at　the　site　of　the　experiment　
55.　What　is　one　of　the　possible　conclusions　of　the　experiment?　
A)　The　ideal　retirement　age　for　an　experienced　football　referee　is　45.　
B)　Age　should　not　be　the　chief　consideration　in　choosing　a　football　referee.　
C)　A　football　referee　should　be　as　young　and　energetic　as　possible.　
D)An　experienced　football　referee　can　do　well　even　when　in　poor　physical　condition.　
Passage　Two　
Questions　56　to　60　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
While　still　in　its　early　stages,　welfare　reform　has　already　been　judged　a　great　[Page]
success　in　many　states　?a　at　least　in　getting　people　off　welfare.　It\'s　estimated　
that　more　than　2　million　people　have　left　the　rolls　since　1994.　
In　the　past　four　years,　welfare　rolls　in　Athens　County　have　been　eut　in　half.　But　70　percent　of　the　people　who　left　in　the　past　two　years　took　jobs　that　paid　less　than　$6　an　hour.　The　result:　The　Athens　County　poverty　rate　still　remains　at　more　than　30　percent--twice　the　national　average.　
For　advocates　(代言人)for　the　poor,　that\'s　an　indication　much　more　needs　to　be　done.　
\"More　people　are　getting　jobs,　but　it\'s　not　making　their　lives　any　better,\"　says　Kathy　Lairn，a　policy　analyst　at　the　Center　on　Budget　and　Policy　Pricorities　in　Washington.　
A　center　analysis　of　US　Census　data　nationwide　found　that　between　1995　and　1996,　
a　greater　percentage　of　single,　femalea2headed　households　were　earning　money　on　their　own,　but　that　average　income　for　these　households　actually　went　down.　
but　for　many,　the　fact　that　poor　people　are　able　to　support　themselves　almost　as　
well　without　government　aid　as　they　did　with　it　is　in　itself　a　huge　victory.　
\"Welfare　was　a　poison.　It　was　a　toxin　(毒素)　that　was　poisoning　the　family,\"　says　Robert　Rector,　a　welfarea2reform　policy　analyst.　\"The　reform　is　changing　the　moral　climate　in　lowa2income　communities.　It\'s　beginning　to　rebuild　the　work　ethic　(道德观)，which　is　much　more　important.\"　
Mr.　Rector　and　others　argued　that　once　\"the　habit　of　dependency　is　cracked,\"　then　the　country　can　make　other　policy　changes　aimed　at　improving　living　standards.　

56.　From　the　passage,　it　can　be　seen　that　the　author　_______.　
A)　believes　the　reform　has　reduced　the　government\'s　burden　
B)　insists　that　welfare　reform　is　doing　little　good　for　the　poor　
C)　is　overenthusiastic　about　the　success　of　welfare　reform　
D)　considers　welfare　reform　to　be　fundamentally　successful　
57.　Why　aren\'t　people　enjoying　better　lives　when　they　have　jobs?　
A)　Because　many　families　are　divorced.　
B)　Because　government　aid　is　now　rare.　
C)　Because　their　wages　are　low.　
D)　Because　the　cost　of　living　is　rising.　
58.　What　is　worth　noting　from　the　example　of　Athens　County　is　that　_______.　
A)　greater　efforts　should　be　made　to　improve　people\'s　living　standards　
B)　70　percent　of　the　people　there　have　been　employed　for　two　years　
C)　50　percent　of　the　population　no　longer　relies　on　welfare　
D)　the　living　standards　of　most　people　are　going　down　
59.　From　the　passage　we　know　that　welfare　reform　aims　at　_______.　
A)　saving　welfare　funds　
B)　rebuilding　the　work　ethic　
C)　providing　more　jobs　
D)　cutting　government　expenses　
60.　According　to　the　passage,　before　the　welfare　reform　was　carried　out,　_______.　[Page]
A)　the　poverty　rate　was　lower　
B)　average　living　standards　were　higher　
C)　the　average　worker　was　paid　higher　wages　
D)　the　poor　used　to　rely　on　government　aid　
Passage　Three　
Questions　61　to　65　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
Americans　are　proud　of　their　variety　and　individuality,　yet　they　love　and　respect　few　things　more　than　a　uniform,　whether　it　is　the　uniform　of　an　elevator　operator　or　the　uniform　of　a　five-star　general.　Why　are　uniforms　so　popular　in　the　United　States?　
Among　the　arguments　for　uniforms,　one　of　the　first　is　that　in　the　eyes　of　most　people　they　look　more　professional　than　civilian　(百姓的)　Clothes.　People　have　be　come　conditioned　to　expect　superior　quality　from　a　man　who　wears　a　uniform.　The　television　repairman　who　wears　a　uniform　tends　to　inspire　more　trust　than　one　who　appears　in　civilian　clothes.　Faith　in　the　skill　of　a　garage　mechanic　is　increased　by　a　uniform.　What　easier　way　is　there　for　a　nurse,　a　policeman,　a　barber,　or　a　waiter　to　lose　professional　identity(身份)　than　to　step　out　of　uniform?　
Uniforms　also　have　many　practical　benefits.　They　save　on　other　clothes.　They　save　on　laundry　bills.　They　are　tax-deductible(可减税的).　They　are　often　more　comfortable　and　more　durable　than　civilian　clothes.　
Primary　among　the　arguments　against　uniforms　is　their　lack　of　variety　and　the　consequent　loss　of　individuality　experienced　by　people　who　must　wear　them.　Though　there　are　many　types　of　uniforms,　the　wearer　of　any　particular　type　is　generally　stuck　with　it,　without　change,　until　retirement.　When　people　look　alike,　they　tend　to　think,　speak,　and　act　similarly,　on　the　job　at　least.　
Uniforms　also　give　rise　to　some　practical　problems.　Though　they　are　long-lasting,　often　their　initial　expense　is　greater　than　the　cost　of　civilian　clothes.　Some　uniforms　are　also　expensive　to　maintain,　requiring　professional　dry　cleaning　rather　than　the　home　laundering　possible　with　many　types　of　civilian　clothes.　

61.　It　is　surprising　that　Americans　who　worship　variety　and　individuality　_______.　
A)　still　judge　a　man　by　his　clothes　
B)　hold　the　uniform　in　such　high　regard　
C)　enjoy　having　a　professional　identity　
D)　will　respect　an　elevator　operator　as　much　as　a　general　in　uniform　
62.　People　are　accustomed　to　think　that　a　man　in　uniform　_______.　
A)　suggests　quality　work　
B)　discards　his　social　identity　
C)　appears　to　be　more　practical　
D)　looks　superior　to　a　person　in　civilian　clothes　
63.　The　chief　function　of　a　uniform　is　to　_______.　
A)　provide　practical　benefits　to　the　wearer　
B)　make　the　wearer　catch　the　public　eye　
C)　inspire　the　wearer\'s　confidence　in　himself　[Page]
D)　provide　the　wearer　with　a　professional　identity　
64.　According　to　the　passage,　people　wearing　uniforms　_______.　
A)　are　usually　helpful　
B)　have　little　or　no　individual　freedom　
C)　tend　to　lose　their　individuality　
D)　enjoy　greater　popularity　
65.　The　best　title　for　this　passage　would　be　_______.　
A)　Uniforms　and　Society　
B)　The　Importance　of　Wearing　a　Uniform　
C)　Practical　Benefits　of　Wearing　a　Uniform　
D)　Advantages　and　Disadvantages　of　Uniforms　
Passage　Four　
Question　66　to　70　are　based　on　the　following　passage:　
Since　we　are　social　beings,　the　quality　of　our　lives　depends　in　large　measure　on　our　interpersonal　relationships.　One　strength　of　the　human　condition　is　our　tendency　to　give　and　receive　support　from　one　another　under　stressful　circumstances.　Social　support　consists　of　the　exchange　of　resources　among　people　based　on　their　interpersonal　ties.　
Those　of　us　with　strong　support　systems　appear　betterable　to　cope　with　major　life　
changes　and　daily　hassles(困难).　People　with　strong　social　ties　live　longer　and　have　better　health　than　those　withou　such　ties.Studies　over　a　range　of　illnesses,　from　depression　to　heart　disease,　reveal　that　the　presence　of　social　support　helps　people　fend　off(挡开)　illness,　and　the　absence　of　such　support　makes　poor　health　more　likely.
