III. 完形填空 (15%)

When you read to learn English composition, you _51_ regard the language as the main thing.

When you read a _52_ in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a question that is not so foolish _53_ it may seem, _54_ I find that many students of English _55_ far more attention to the story _56_ to the English. They read and enjoy and _57_ a long time afterwards remember the story, but do not _58_ to study the use of words and _59_ in it. For instance, they know the plot of the story _60_, but do not remember a _61_sentence in the story and can not tell _62_ preposition is used before or _63_ a certain word which functions as a noun, a verb or an adjective.

Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and remember a story, and so long as one -64_ to know the story only, one need not -65_ about the language. But the case is quite different with a student of English.

IV. 阅读理解(30%)

Passage 1

People can be addicted to different things — e. g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i. e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational — impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts (赊购账) are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.

There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, of ten buy things that they don"t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.

It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also businesspeople. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: They consider people"s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.

Psychologists often use a method called

66. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money ______.

A) and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys

B) in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life

C) just to meet his or her strong psychological need

D) entirely with an irrational eagerness

67. According to the writer, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible prices _____.

A) because they want to save money to help their budgets

B) because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for less

C) and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgets

D) but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can get things for less than others

68. Which of the following is true?

A) All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.

B) Businesspeople and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase sales.

C) Businesspeople understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.

D) compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.

69. The article is mainly about_____.

A) the psychology of money-spending habits

B) the purchasing habits of compulsive spenders

C) a special psychology of bargain hunting

A) are really unreasonable

B) need special treatment

C) are really beyond remedies

D) can never get any help to solve their problems with money

Passage 2

Hawaii’s (夏威夷的) native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty(主权)over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s(群岛的)political establishment which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.

The islands were annexed(并吞)by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.

But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.

However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want

greater autonomy within the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs(OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US.

But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count those as native people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.

Native demands are not just based on political grievances(苦衷), though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares(公顷)of Hawaiian crown land(公有土地)to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US$136 million in back rent(欠租)on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.

71. Which of the following is/are referred to as part of Hawaii’s native minority?

A. Hawaii’s ethnic groups

B. people of Filipino origin

C. the Ka Lahui group

D. people with 50% Hawaiian blood

72. Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?

A. Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.

B. Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.

C. Their life is worse than that of other ethnic groups in Hawaii.

D. They are the only native group without sovereignty.

73. Which of the following is NOT true of John Waihee?

A. He is Hawaii’s first native governor.

B. He has set up a sovereignty advisory committee.

C. He suggested the native people decide for themselves.

D. He is leading the local independent movement.

74. Which of the following groups holds a less radical attitude on the matter of sovereignty?

A. American Indian natives.

B. Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

C. The Ka Lahui group.

D. The Hawaiian natives.

75. Various native Hawaiians demand all the following EXCEPT_______.

A. a greater autonomy within the state

B. more back rent on the crown land

C. a claim on the Hawaiian crown land

D. full independence from the US
