Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension（30 points,2 points for each）
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
One of the advantages of being self-employed is that the profit the business makes
belongs to the owner. If the self-employed person in successful in business, he
or she has the chance to earn a great deal of money and even become wealthy. The
profit earned by a self-employed person is the reward for his or her effort,
ability, and creativity. Thus, a second advantage of being self-employed is that
a person’s intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on his or her earnings.
People who have outstanding abilities or intelligence often find they can earn
far more through self-employment than they can through working as an employee.
A third advantage of being self-employed is that a person can control both the
number of hours worked and the hours of work. While not all self-employed people
are completely free to choose whatever hours they want to work, most of them have
more control over this area than do the people who for salaries or wages.
As with most things in life, being self-employed is not without problems. First,
being one’s own boss places the responsibility for success directly on that
individual’s shoulders. Abilities and intelligence will be put to the test.
Everyone has some weaknesses and is less capable in some things than in others.
These weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is. Second,
though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business,
losses can force them out of business and, in some instances, place them in debt.
A third disadvantage concerns income security. Self-employed people have no
guaranteed wage. Their earnings can vary greatly from year to year, depending
on business conditions. Salaried people, on the other hand, can generally count
on continued earnings from year to year. In addition, salaried people often enjoy
fringe benefits that mean greater peace of mind. Fringe benefits are all of the
benefits provided for employees in addition to wages and salaries. One of these
benefits may be insurance paid for by the employer that continues the employee’s
salary in the event of sickness or accident. Many self-employed people do not
have such protection, unless they put money aside themselves.
21. A self-employed person is one _____________.
[A] who can make a big profit
[B] who is his or her own boss
[C] whose business has a better chance to success
[D] who employs no others but his or her relatives
22. One of the advantages self-employment offers is that self-employed people
________.
[A] may decide when and how long they work
[B] have outstanding abilities and intelligence
[C] may get more business support from the government
[D] are easy to earn money and ready to become wealthy
23. One problem of self-employment is that ___________.
[A] there is no guarantee of income security
[B] it is comparatively week in management
[C] an employer’s earnings have nothing to do with business conditions
[D] salaries may vary greatly from person to person
24. We may guess from the context that fringe benefits _____________.
[A] are all the money provided for employees
[B] are benefits an employee receives apart from wages and salaries
[C] consist of those that are paid by insurance companies
[D] result from business activities the employer has organized
25. The author’s attitude towards self-employment is ____________.
[A] positive
[B] negative
[C] indifferent
[D] objective
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls
behavior. It tells plants when to form flowers and insects when to leave protective
cocoon（茧）and fly away. And it tells animals and human beings when to awaken,
sleep, and seek food. It controls our body temperatures, the release of some
hormones（激素）and even dreams.
Events outside the plant and animal affect its actions. Scientists recently found
that a tiny animal called Siberian hamster changes the color of its fur because
of the number of hours of daylight. In shorter days of winter its fur becomes
white. The fur becomes gray-brown in longer hours of daylight in summer.
Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some
internal one seems to order birds to begin their migration flights two times each
year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip.
But they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.
A mix of outside and internal events controls some biological clocks; such things
as heartbeat and the daily change from sleep to walking take place because of
both external and internal signals.
Scientists are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain the biological
clocks. A researcher at Harvard University ─ Dr. Martin Moore Ede ─ said a small
group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some
of our actions. Probably there are other cells to control other body activities.
He is studying how they affect the way we do our work. Most of us have great
difficulty if we must often change to different work hours. It can take many days
for a human body to accept a major change in work hours. Industrial officials
should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect
workers. He said such an understanding could reduce sickness and accidents at
work, and would help increase production.
26. Which of the following can not be controlled by biological clocks?
[A] Dreams.
[B] when and what to eat.
[C] Body temperature.
[D] When the flowers should open.
27. The author mentions Siberian hamster to illustrate that _________.
[A] every living thing has a biological clock
[B] Siberian hamster is a highly adaptive species
[C] biological clocks can change an animal’s skin color
[D] external factors can affect the behavior of an organism
28. From the passage we can infer that __________.
[A] biological clocks are responsible for all the human behaviors
[B] biological clocks are too mysterious to be explained
[C] heartbeat and some daily activities affect biological clocks
[D] studies on biological clocks can throw some light on human actions
29. Why should industrial officials have a better understanding of biological
clocks?
[A] Because some cells in the brain are very important.
[B] Because it is very hard to change working time.
[C] Because it may lead to improvement of work efficiency.
[D] Because it takes a long time for a person to get used to the shift of work
hours.
30. The best title for the passage could be _________.
[A] A Brief Account of Biological Clocks
[B] Biological Clocks and Work Efficiency
[C] How Biological Clocks Work
[D] The location of Biological Clocks
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
“There is no arguing about taste”─ runs the Latin proverb. But taste did not
just happen. Cultural, historical, biological and environmental events have
interacted to cause frogs, for example, to be viewed as delicious in southern
China but to be regarded with revulsion（厌恶）in northern China. Even though
much remains unknown, tastes cannot be dismissed as inarguable or illogical; an
attempt will be made here to discover why, as Lucretius put it,“What is food
to one man may be fierce poison to others?”
Among the approximately thirty million tribal people of India, a total of 250
animal species are avoided by one group or another. Most of these people will
not eat meat from a tiger or any of various snakes. Although they say they feel
a relationship with these animals, it is obvious that both are highly dangerous
and that hunting them systematically would be foolish.
Monkeys are avoided, probably because they look like human beings in appearance;
in these tribes, man-eating is viewed as extremely cruel. A reluctance to eat
some female animals has been attributed to respect for the mother’s role, but
it could also be due to a policy of allowing the females to reproduce and provide
more young for people. Many tribes avoid eating any animal that has died of unknown
causes an intelligent attitude in view of the possibility that the animal might
have died from a disease that could spread to humans. Animals that consume garbage
are similarly avoided, an adaptive step that prevents contact with parasites
（寄生虫）, and that might explain why members of one tribe eat any of twenty-one
different species of rats, but not the house that.
31.“There is no arguing about taste”, which means ___________.
[A] people don’t like to talk about food
[B] one’s taste in food is hard to explain
[C] there is no quarrelling about to eat
[D] no arguments about taste have been heard of before
32. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ____________.
[A] the author is against eating frogs
[B] taste is illogical and inarguable
[C] some types of frogs are poisonous
[D] taste is influenced by many factors
33. The tribal people in India don’t eat snakes because _____________.
[A] they are very dangerous
[B] they are respected by Indians
[C] they may spread disease
[D] they help kill rats
34. The tribal people in India may not eat the following animals EXCEPT _________.
[A] donkeys
[B] tigers
[C] female deer
[D] house rats
35. The passage is probably written for the purpose of ________.
[A] introducing the eating habit of Indian tribal people
[B] distinguishing different types of taste
[C] accounting for people’s different choices of taste
[D] explaining the relationship between taste and tribes

Ⅶ. E-C Translation
游客在美国的多数大城市，几乎可以找到各种类型的餐馆。电话簿以名称、所在城区位
置或食物种类，列出每个城市的餐馆名称。大城市的餐馆价格差别很大。许多餐馆在橱
窗里张贴菜单，让你进去之前就能对食物的价格和种类有所了解。假如没有贴出菜单，
而你又不知道那地方的饭菜贵到什么程度，那么进去之后，可以先要菜单来看，再就坐，
要不然就直接问价格高低。光看餐馆的外表，可能产生误导──外表普通的小餐馆，也
许实际上极贵；外表看来昂贵的大餐馆，价钱可能很公道。
你在酒吧或咖啡馆，大概五美元或略多一点就可以吃一顿，但在多数城市的餐馆就餐，
一个人大概要花20 到30 美元，而且饮料还要另算。
