PART II READING COMPREHENSION(30MIN)
In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiplechoice questions
Read the passages and then mark your answers on your coloured answer sheet
TEXT A
The University in transformation edited by Australian futurists Sohail Inayatullah and Jennifer Gidley presents some 20 highly varied outlooks on tomorrow's universities by writers representing both Western and monWestern perspectives Their essays raise a broad range of issues questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today
The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet University a voluntary community to scholarsteachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace A computerized university could have many advantages such as easy scheduling efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world's great libraries
Yet the Internet University poses dangers too For example a line of franchised courseware produced by a few superstar teachers marketed under the brand name of a famous institution and heavily advertised might eventually come to dominate the global education market warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Besides enforcing a rigidly standardized curriculum such a college education in a box could undersell the offerings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions effectively driving then out of business and throwing thousands of career academics out of work note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn
On the other hand while global connectivity seems highly likely to play some significant role in future higher education that does not mean greater uniformity in course content or other dangers will necessarily follow Countermovements are also at work
Many in academia including scholars contributing to this volume are questioning the fundamental mission of university education What if for instance instead of receiving primarily technical training and building their individual careers university students and professors could focus their learning and research efforts on existing problems in their local communities and the world Feminist scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become if we believed that childcare workers and teachers in early childhood education should be one of the highest (rather than lowest) paid professionals
Coeditor Jennifer Gidley shows how tomorrow's university faculty instead of giving lectures and conducting independent research may take on three new roles Some would act as brokers assembling customized degreecredit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world A second group mentors would function much like today's faculty advisers but are likely to be working with many more students outside their own academic specialty This would require them to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them
A third new role for faculty and in Gidley's view the most challenging and rewarding of all would be as meaningmakers charismatic sages and practitioners leading groups of studentscolleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual as well as rational and technological solutions to specific realworld problems
Moreover there seems little reason to suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options Students may be enrolled in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet between or even during sessions at a realworld problemfocused institution
As coeditor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction no future is inevitable and the very act of imagining and thinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied Even in academia the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical sustainable realities
11 When the book reviewer discusses the Internet University
A he is in favour of it
B his view is balanced
C he is slightly critical of it
D he is strongly critical of it
12 Which of the following is NOT seen as a potential danger of the Internet University
A Internetbased courses may be less costly than traditional ones
B Teachers in traditional institutions may lose their jobs
C internetbased courseware may lack variety in course content
D The Internet University may produce teachers with a lot of publicity
13 According to the review what is the fundamental mission of traditional university education
A Knowledge learning and career building
B Learning how to solve existing social problems
C Researching into solutions to current world problems
D Combining research efforts of teachers and students in learning
14 Judging from the Three new roles envisioned for tomorrow's university faculty university teachers
A are required to conduct more independent research
B are required to offer more course to their students…… C are supposed to assume more demanding duties
D are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty
15 Which category of writing does the review belong to
A Narration
B Description
C persuasion
D Exposition
TEXT B
Every street had a story every building a memory Those blessed with wonderful childhoods can drive the streets of their hometowns and happily roll back the years The rest are pulled home by duty and leave as soon as possible After Ray Atlee had been in Clanton (his hometown) for fifteen minutes he was anxious to get out
The town had changed but then it hadn't On the highways leading in the cheap metal buildings and mobile homes were gathering as tightly as possible next to the roads for maximum visibility This town had no zoning whatsoever A landowner could build anything wiih no permit no inspection no notice to adjoining landowners nothing Only hog farms and nuclear reactors required approvals and paperwork The result was a slashandbuild clutter that got uglier by the year
But in the older sections nearer the square the town had not changed at all The long shaded streets were as clean and neat as when Kay roamed them on his bike Most of the houses were still owned by people he knew or if those folks had passed on the new owners kept the lawns clipped and the shutters painted Only a few were being neglected A handful had been abandoned
This deep in Bible country it was still an unwritten rule in the town that little was done on Sundays except go to church sit on porches visit neighbours rest and relax the way God intended
It was cloudy quite cool for May and as he toured his old turf killing time until the appointed hour for the family meeting he tried to dwell on the good memories from Clanton There was Dizzy Dean Park where he had played little League for the Pirates and (here was the public pool he'd swum in every summer except 1969 when the city closed it rather than admit black children There were the churches Baptist Methodist and Presbyterian facing each other at the intersection of Second and Elm like wary sentries their steeples competing for height They were empty now hut in an hour or so the more faithful would gather for evening services
The square was as lifeless as the streets leading to it With eight thousand people Clanton was just large enough to have attracted the discount stores that had wiped out so many small towns But here the people had been faithful to their downtown merchants and there wasn't s single empty or boardedup building around the square no small miracle The retail shops were mixed in with the banks and law offices and cafes all closed for the Sabbath
He inched through the cemetery and surveyed the Atlee section in the old part where the tombstones were grander Some of his ancestors had built monuments for their dead Ray had always assumed that the family money he'd never seen must have been buried in those graves He parked and walked to his mother's grave something he hadn't done in years She was buried among the Atlees at the far edge of the family plot because she had barely belonged
Soon in less than an hour he would be sitting in his father's study sipping bad instant tea and receiving instructions on exactly how his father would be laid to rest Many orders were about to be give many decrees and directions because his father(who used to be a judge) was a great man and cared deeply about how he was to be remembered
Moving again Ray passed the water tower he'd climbed twice the second time with the police waiting below He grimaced at his old high school a place he'd never visited since he'd left it Behind it was the football field where his brother Forrest had romped over opponents and almost became famous before getting bounced off the team
It was twenty minutes before five Sunday May 7 Time for the family meeting
16 From the first paragraph we get the impression that
A Ray cherished his childhood memories
B Ray had something urgent to take care of
C Ray may not have a happy childhood
D Ray cannot remember his childhood days
17 Which of the following adjectives does NOT describe Ray's hometown
A Lifeless
B Religious
C Traditional
D Quiet

A close
B remote
C tense
D impossible to tell
19 It can be inferred from the passage that Ray's father was all EXCEPT
A considerate
B punctual
C thrifty
D dominant
TEXT C
Campaigning on the Indian frontier is an experience by itself Neither the landscape nor the people find their counterparts in any other portion of the globe Valley walls rise steeply five or six thousand feet on every side The columns crawl through a maze of giant corridors down which fierce snowfed torrents foam under skies of brass Amid these scenes of savage brilliancy there dwells a race whose qualities seem to harmonize with their environment Except at harvesttime when selfpreservation requires a temporary truce the Pathan tribes are always engaged in private or public war Every man is a warrior a politician and a theologian Every large house is a real feudal fortress made it is true only of sunbaked clay but with battlements turrets loopholes drawbridges etc complete Every village has its defence Every family cultivates its vendetta every clan its feud The numerous tribes and combinations of tribes all have their accounts to settle with one another Nothing is ever forgotten and very few debts are left unpaid For the purposes of social life in addition to the convention about harvesttime a most elaborate code of honour has been established and is on the whole faithfully observed A man who knew it and observed it faultlessly might pass unarmed from one end of the frontier to another The slightest technical slip would however be fatal The life of the Pathan is thus full of interest and his valleys nourished alike by endless sunshine and abundant water are fertile enough to yield with little labour the modest material requirements of a sparse population
Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts the rifle and the British Government The first was an enormous luxury and blessing the second an unmitigated nuisance The convenience of the rifle was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire it One could actually remain in one's own house and fire at one's neighbour nearly a mile away One could lie in wait on some high crag and at hitherto unheardof ranges hit a horseman far below Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home Fabulous prices were therefore offered for these glorious products of science Riflethieves scoured all India to reinforce the efforts of the honest smuggler A steady flow of the coveted weapons spread its genial influence throughout the frontier and the respect which the Pathan tribesmen entertained for Christian civilization was vastly enhanced
The action of the British Government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory The great organizing advancing absorbing power to the southward seemed to be little better than a monstrous spoilsport If the Pathan made forays into the plains not only were they driven back (which after all was no more than fair) but a whole series of subsequent interferences took place followed at intervals by expeditions which toiled laboriously through the valleys scolding the tribesmen and exacting fines for any damage which they had done No one would have minded these expeditions if they had simply come had a fight and then gone away again In many cases this was their practice under what was called the butcher and bolt policy to which the Government of India long adhered But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of the valleys and in particular the great road to Chitral They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats by forts and by subsidies There was no objection to the last method so far as it went But the whole of this tendency to roadmaking was regarded by the Pathans with profound distaste All along the road people were expected to keep quiet not to shoot one another and above all not to shoot at travellers along the road It was too much to ask and a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source
20 The word debts in very few debts are left unpaid in the first paragraph means
A. loans B. accounts C.killings D.bargains
21 Which of the following is NOT one of the geographical facts about the Indian frontier
A Melting snows B Large population
C Steep hillsides D Fertile valleys
22 According to the passage the Pathans welcomed
A the introduction of the rifle
B the spread of British rule
C the extension of luxuries
D the spread of trade
23 Building roads by the British
A put an end to a whole series of quarrels
B prevented the Pathans from earning on feuds
C lessened the subsidies paid to the Pathans
D gave the Pathans a much quieter life
24 A suitable title for the passage would be
A Campaigning on the Indian frontier
B Why the Pathans resented the British rule
C The popularity of rifles among the Pathans
D The Pathans at war
TEXT D
Museum is a slippery word It first meant (in Greek) anything consecrated to the Muses a hill a shrine a garden a festival or even a textbook Both Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum had a mouseion a muses' shrine Although the Greeks already collected detached works of art many temples notably that of Hera at Olympia (before which the Olympic flame is still lit) had collections of objects some of which were works of art by wellknown masters while paintings and sculptures in the Alexandrian Museum were incidental to its main purpose
The Romans also collected and exhibited art from disbanded temples as well as mineral specimens exotic plants animals and they plundered sculptures and paintings (mostly Greek) for exhibition Meanwhile the Greek word had slipped into Latin by transliteration (though not to signify picture galleries which were called pinacothecae) and museum still more or less meant Muses' shrine
The inspirational collections of precious and semiprecious objects were kept in larger churches and monasteries which focused on the goldenshrined bejewelled relics of saints and martyrs Princes and later merchants had similar collections which became the deposits of natural curiosities large lumps of amber or coral irregular pearls unicorn horns ostrich eggs fossil bones and so on They also included coins and gems often antique engraved ones as well as increasingly paintings and sculptures As they multiplied and expanded to supplement them the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined
At the same time visitors could admire the very grandest paintings and sculptures in the churches palaces and castles they were not collected either but sitespecific and were considered an integral part both of the fabric of the buildings and of the way of life which went on inside them and most of the buildings were public ones However during the revival of antiquity in the fifteenth century fragments of antique sculpture were given higher status than the work of any contemporary so that displays of antiquities would inspire artists to imitation or even better to emulation and so could be considered Muses' shrines in the former sense The Medici garden near San Marco in Florence the Belvedere and the Capitol in Rome were the most famous of such early inspirational collections Soon they multiplied and gradually exemplary modern works were
In the seventeenth century scientific and prestige collecting became so widespread that three or four collectors independently published directories to museums all over the known world But it was the age of revolutions and industry which produced the next sharp shift in the way the institution was perceived the fury against royal and church monuments prompted antiquarians to shelter them in asylumgalleries of which the Musee des Monuments Francais was the most famous Then in the first half of the nineteenth century museum funding took off allied to the rise of new wealth London acquired the National Gallery and the British Museum the Louvre was organized the MuseumInsel was begun in Berlin and the Munich galleries were built In Vienna the huge Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museums took over much of the imperial treasure Meanwhile the decline of craftsmanship (and of public taste with it) inspired the creation of improving collections The Victoria and Albert Museum in London was the most famous as well as perhaps the largest of them
25The sentence Museum is a slippery word in the first paragraph means that
A the meaning of the word didn't change until after the 15th century
B the meaning of the word had changed over the years
C the Greeks held different concepts from the Romans
D princes and merchants added paintings to their collections
26The idea that museum could mean a mountain or an object originates from
A the Romans B Florence
C Olympia D Greek
27 …… the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined in the third paragraph means that
A there was a great demand for fakers B fakers grew rapidly in number
C fakers became more skillful D fakers became more polite
28 Painting and sculptures on display in churches in the 15th century were
A collected from elsewhere
B made part of the buildings
C donated by people
D bought by churches
29 Modern museums came into existence in order to
A protect royal and church treasures
B improve existing collections
C stimulate public interest
D raise more funds
30 Which is the main idea of the passage
A Collection and collectors
B The evolution of museums
C Modern museums and their functions
D The birth of museums

参考译文
Since ancient times the Chinese nationalities have never considered human beings to be superior to every other species As is reflected in Chinese philosophy literature and art in the natural world human beings occupy a positioning proportion to all other creatures and the former do not absolutely dominate the latter Therefore generally speaking we Chinese feel depressed less often and less severely than people in the west for the intensity of ones depression literally changes along with the magnitude of one’s desire and ambition As people in an agricultural society enjoy much fewer comforts than those in an industrial society they have fewer desires or wishes Besides ancient Chinese always took it as their most fundamental philosophy of life that one should not merely be confined to material pursuits or be kept in bondage by material things It is quite true that there are misers in China But Chinese misers prove less miserly and less ambitious when they are compared with those misers and careerists described by Moliai and Balzac Being very mildtempered most of the ethnic groups in China live a simple life without worldly desires In comparison with western people the Chinese people are easily satisfied
