Part Two Reading

Passage A
After practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership
in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished
professional organization.
As part of the application procedure(手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the
operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she
began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best
technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating?
On the other hand, maybe she should have… Would the doctors on the selection committee
understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from
others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux
felt lonely and isolated.
The longer Dr.Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As
hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the
American College of Surgeons.
1. Dr. Ginoux was working in
A. a large city B. the American College of Surgeons
C. an area far from any big city D. a selective organization

A. the decision procedure B. a record of all the operations
C. the best technique D. a list of advice and judgments
3. It was most probable that Dr.Ginoux was
A. a member in that organization
B. a well-trained surgeon
C. a graduate from the American College of Surgeons
D. a distinguished surgeon in America
4. When she was filling the application forms, Dr.Ginoux began to be
A. realistic B. distinguished C. perplexed D. decisive
5. When filling the forms, Dr.Ginoux felt depressed because
A. she didn’t perform enough operations
B. some operations were unsuccessful
C. she didn’t get advice from the selection committee
D. she was doubtful about her operations

Passage B
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools
of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for the
advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a
special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates
for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all
students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the 19 th century. Perhaps
it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern
industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and
carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.
Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not
personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of
which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer
and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material
properly.
1. In the Middle Ages students _____________.
A. took subjective tests B. never wrote exams
C. specialized in one subject only D. were timed by electric clocks
2. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______________.
A. workers now take exams B. the industry has developed quickly
C. there are only written exams today D. exams are now written and timed
3. The kind of exams where students must select answers are __________.
A. subjective B. spoken C. objective D. written
4. Modern industry must have developed _________.
A. around the 19th century B. in Greece or Rome
C. before the Middle Ages D .machines to take tests and time them
5. It may be concluded that testing ___________.
A. should test only opinions B. should always be written
C. has changed since the Middle Ages D. will never change again
Passage C
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly.
“Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision,
found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job
these days, there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was
looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety （ 多 样 性 ） and satisfaction. He
searched for an interest in his work, with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine
pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way
for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an
elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for
the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease
and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s
arithmetic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how
straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but
once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager
of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the
books.
 1. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?
A. His father made him leave.
B. He had reached the age when he had to leave.
C. He left because he was worried about the future.
D. He left because he wanted to start work.
2. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?
A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.
B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.
C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.
D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.
3. It took about a year for Ron to realize that
A. he worked well because he was interested in the job.
B. his work at the supermarket was dull.
C. being at work was much better than going to school.
D. the store manager wanted to get rid of him.
4. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?
A. He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.
B. He took a job as a lorry driver.
C. He gave up the job because he felt unwell.
D. He wanted to work at the seaside.
5. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because
A. he got on well with the manager there
B. he knew how to keep the accounts of the business.
C. he had had experience of selling books.
D. he was young and strong.

Passage D
Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this
industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of
these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as
productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they
take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient
machine. As a result, a worker trained for a specific factory job becomes unemployed, and the
profits of the factory owners are maximized.
Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapid industrialization because
it brings problems as well as progress. Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last, not jobs
that are temporary. In the opinion of these economists, the leaders of Third World Countries
should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization.
1. The rapid industrialization in Third World Countries would lead to __________.
A. more progress to the state B. more profits to the factory owners
C. more problems to the government D. all of the above

A. More opportunities for workers B. Highest productivity.

 3. According to the passage, automation could lead to _______________.
A. more jobs and therefore more pay
B. fewer machines and therefore more workers
C. more machines and therefore more workers

A. tell us an interesting story
B. reveal a fact
C. give a warning to some Third World Countries
D. tell us the disadvantage of automation
