13、s in its memory.In the mean time, there are many new problems in American society. Old people often feel lonely, because the society is not interested in them and their children are often away. There are cases where (18)_, but from time to time, many workers found themselves jobless.We still have tw

They have become great forces, which control the government and economy. The poorest class is still mostly made up of black people and minority people. The (20

15、)_ the new age of science and technology. So the two classes are completely different.Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)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

16、 should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage 1In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence. This

17、 effectually retards progress to higher development.Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore. The only wood is such as drifts in. Other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals. All of these have been u

18、sed for habitations and storage places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers.The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why these tribes construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the groun

19、d. This device also makes the houses more impervious(不能渗透的)to the cold.Most of us are inclined to think that the Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house. This is not entirely true. After the long cold winter, the family is very likely to move, when the weather permits, into a tent of sealskin.

20、 The actual construction of such a tent is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes and will be described later.The snow house, however, is an interesting and unique habitation. Our summer campers will not build with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter ca

21、mps in the mountains might try to make snow houses.21. Eskimos efforts to build houses _ .A. result in various buildingsB. are limited by a hostile environmentC. are restricted by their abilityD. retard progress to higher development22. Which of the following about the construction of houses is true

22、?A. Building materials differ from tribe to tribe.B. Building materials are the same for all the houses.C. Building materials are selected according to weather.D. Building materials are decided by skilled workers.23. Why do Eskimos build their houses partly under the ground?A. They like to live unde

23、r the ground.B. They are short of essential materials for walls and roofs.C. They want their houses less affected by the cold.D. Both B and C.24. In the long winter, Eskimos commonly live in _ .A. a snow houseB. a stone houseC. a storage place D. a tent of sealskin25. What does the author think of s

24、now houses?A. Interesting. B. Artistic.C. Unique. D. All of the above.Passage 2There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for peopl

25、e who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “g

26、eneralists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and

27、tools. He is a “trained” man; and his education background is properly technical or professional. The generalist-and especially the administrator-deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest

28、 foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out,

29、during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly. Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold

30、any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26.There is an increasing demand for_.A. all-round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organiz

31、e other peoples workC. generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27.The specialist is _.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC

32、. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28.The administrator is _.E. a “ trained ” man who is more a specialist than a generalistF. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestG. a man who is very strong in the humani
