Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives to. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends’ houses.
Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry and impatient.
Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Chinese Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate(年死亡率)from traffic accidents in Chinese Taiwan is twice that of Japan.
To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!
41. The word “convenient” in the passage means ________ .
A. handy, easy to do B. that can be changed
C. fond of drinking and merry-making D. carriages or other trucks
42. If you cut another car off, its driver may be ________ .

45. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

Passage Two
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem-how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings-theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.” A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.
Along the way, pit has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.
46. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it ______.
A. was difficult to collect B. came in a variety of forms
C. was difficult to get rid of D. tended to be absorbed by physical objects
47. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?
A. The heat is supplied by human bodies only.
B. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects.
C. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.
D. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel.
48. The phrase “even in winter” (in line 8) most nearly means ________ .
A. if the winter is especially warm
B. during all of the year except the winter
C. in the winter as well as in other seasons
D. during the evenings in the winter
49. The phrase “heat recovery” refers to a ________ .
A. method of concealing the source of heat
B. special form of air conditioning
C. supplementary hot water system
D. way of reclaiming and re-using heat
50. According to the passage which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat?
A. A fat female who studies hard.
B. A thin female who does not study.
C. A fat male who does not study.
D. A thin male who studies hard.
Passage Three
If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely stronger extremely clever; But all of the same means—practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: They cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is always being exercised.
So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.
51. The first paragraph is intended to tell us that ________ .
A. everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or legs
B. it is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs
C. to have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly
D. to keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a car all day
52. In the author’s opinion,a poor memory may result from ________ .
A. unluckily fortune B. weak arms and legs
C.insufficient D. lack of remembering practice
53. The author seems to suggest that we should ________ .
A. complain about nothing but our health
B. play tennis to exercise our arms and legs
C. blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memory
D. learn from those who cannot read or write for a better memory
54. The author comes to the conclusion that ________ .
A. memory can be improved by practicing it
B. the poorer one is, the better memory he has
C. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything
D. the poor and humble people may help you remember things
55. The most appropriate tile for the passage would be ________ .
A. Poor and Good Memory B. Your Arms, Legs and Brain
C. How to Improve Your Memory D. Learn from the Poor and Humble
Passage Four
If you are going to be a straight talker, you have to believe that it’s a virtue, that it’s an quality you want to have.
If you have an opinion and you just state it, it allows the other person to either try to challenge your opinion, to agree with you, or to disagree—they have an action they can take. If you are quiet, people think you agree. How can you then further the conversation when you are at different points and it’s not really exposed? Agreeing is easy. Disagreeing takes more guts.
Several years back, when I was CEO at a company; there was a very senior woman who was very smart and well spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, “You need to tell her.” He said, “Oh, no way.”
So I called her in and directly stated what I thought was happening, “You’re not getting the respect you deserve,” I said, “go to the store and get a personal shopper. Just say,‘I am a senior businessperson and need help dressing formally.’” She came back, and she was completely a different person. She said she felt really good. And currency went way up.
Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I’d try to answer it honestly. And it was rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening.
I was raised by my grandma, and she was a pretty straight talker because she thought you would handle it. My advice is to be realistic. Being honest and truthful is part of being a good worker, a good associate, and a good leader.
56. The woman did not get promoted because she did not ________ .
A. dress appropriately B. take her work seriously
C. get on well with her colleagues D. follow her manager’s instructions
57. The underlined phrase “takes more guts” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________ .
A. demand more wisdom B. attract more attention
C. take more courage D. need more communication
58. According to the writer, talking in a straight way allows one to ________ .
A. become an opinion leader B. make friends easily
C. become a respectable person D. take further action
59. From the last passage, it can be inferred that the writer tends to talk frankly possibly due to the influence of ________ .
A. his workmates B. his leaders C. his friends D. his family
60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Straight talkers B. Different opinions
C. Agree or disagree D. Importance of speech
Passage Five
Until the twentieth century, women did not often participate in sports. Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time. Many women cooked, cleaned, and took care of children. They were so busy that they did not have time for sports. A second reason especially in the late nineteenth century, is that a woman’s image at that time was one of weakness, illness, and delicacy. In the Victorian era, people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.
There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world, and also changes within the world of sports. These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports. The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era. Women are no longer considered delicate. People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports. Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded. Many women now take part in sports and games of many different kinds, and enjoy doing so. This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.
Women are also more active in sports now because of two changes in sports. First, in the early twentieth century, women began to compete regularly in the Olympics. Also, the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily. The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities. In more recent years, television has had a noticeable effect on the popularity of women’s professional sports. Many women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV, along with many other competitions. Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women, as amateurs and as professionals.
61. According to the passage, women did not often participate in sports in the past because ________ .
A. they were too busy B. they did not like competition
C. they did not like sports D. they loved staying at home
62. Women began to participate in the Olympics ________ .
A. in the late nineteenth century B.in the Victorian Age
C. in the early twentieth century D.in the 21st century
63. TV has made women’s sports ________ .
A. well recognized B. highly regarded
C. more professional D. more popular
64. We can infer from the passage that ________ .
A. women used to be considered too weak for sports
B. women did less housework in the twentieth century
C. the number of sports events has remained unchanged
D. only women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV
65. The best title for this passage is ________ .
A. The Image of women B. Sports in the Paris
C. Women in Sports D. Modern Sports
