Part II Reading Comprehension(40%)
Passage 1
Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could fell everying. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.
Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called"laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of then spent their time laughing but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to fell pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.
As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.

Passage 2
The status given to waiters in a restaurant varies in different parts of the world. For example, in some places working as a waiter is seen as having low status, like being a servant. In other places, it is viewed as a useful and important role and people who do the job well are respected.
Eddie Lam has been a waiter for four years and clearly thinks he has a good job. He is proud that he knows how to give good service to guests in the restaurant where he works. "I enjoy learning about people-their likes, dislikes and their moods. I make an effort to show them that I care," he explains. "It takes experience to understand how to make someone happy." Eddie knows that when he talks about his customers, it may sound like he is talking about his friends or his family. "There are actually many similarities in the relationship, although the relationship between waiter and customer may only last a short time," he laughs.
Eddie believes that waiters have to be very observant. They need to notice quickly when a customer is bothered, for example, if they don't have a knife, or if they want a glass of water. It is also important for them to recognise when someone is in a hurry or when a couple want to be left undisturbed for a while. And all this should happen without the customers realizing, they just get what they want. He points out that when service is good, the customers are often not aware of it. However, if customers receive bad service in a restaurant, they usually react very quickly.
"I suppose the tips left by customers are part of my financial reward," says Eddie, "but I also get a lot of satisfaction just from seeing customers relaxing and enjoying their meals."

Passage 3
Most people agree that the direct, assertive (过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S., children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has anything in it or the meat is too tough to eat, the diner can complain to the waiter; if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn't always bad.As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures ma dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly; adaptable, energetic, and kind-hearted. Most newcomers to the T.S. like Americans, and the felling usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
41. The first paragraph tells us that Americans .
A. are straightforward B. show no respect to teachers
C. don't like the D like arguing with each other

C. Americans get along well with immigrants D. Americans have more faults than virtues
44. The last sentence of the passage implies that foreigners in America .
A. won't stay long there B. won't like the country
C. will soon feel at home there D. will soon find a job there
45. The passage mainly talks about .
A. the American virtues B. the American character C. the American faults D. the American lifestyle
Passage 4
We are all interested in equality but while some people try to protect the school examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed - no examination is perfect-but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the values and the purpose of each teacher.
Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them -a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school's reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents of examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they shou differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some on puter.

A. Equality B. the society C. the school D. the examination system

A. there will be no equality nor standards B. the bright child will have no opportunity

A. bright children usually get better jobs
B. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets
C. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
D. children from well-respected schools will have good jobs
49. Those who are against the examination system will agree that
A. pupils shouldn’t be divided into"the bright"and"the dull
B special classes are necessary to keep the school standards
