    Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
    Passage I
     The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-
    oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their
    money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen ,
    striving to make profits , produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen ;
    and the profit motive , operating under competitive pressures , largely determines how these goods
    and services are produced. Thus, in the American eoonomic system it is the demand of individual
    consumers , coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individu -
    als to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources
    are used to produce it.
     An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer de-
    mands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mecha-
    nism is provided bv a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative
    demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply
    relative to the demand , the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the
    market. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this
    will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in tum will lower the price and
    permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the Amer-
    ican economic system .
     The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own
    productive resources (private propeny) , and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over
    natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy,
    the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also
    certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract
    with another private individual .
    51 . In Line 11 , Para 1 , "the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes" means__.
    A. Americans are never satisfied with their incomes
    B. Americans tend to oventate their incomes
    C. Americans want to have their incomes increased
    D. Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes
    52. The first two &ntences in the second paragraph tell us that__.
    A. producers can satisfy the oonsumers by mechanized production
    B. consumers can express their demands through producers
    C. producers decide the prices of products
    D. supply and demand regulate prices
    53 . According to the passage, a private-enterprise economy is characterized by__.
    A. private property and rights concerned
    B. manpower and natural resources control
    C. ownership of productive resources
    D. free contracts and prices
    54. The passage is mainly about__.
    A. how American goods are produced
    B. how American consumers buy their goods
    C. how American economic system works
    D. how American businessmen make their profits
    Passage 2
     One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They
    give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the coun-
    try, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of
    these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in
    scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless
    society" is not on the horizon-it's already here.
     While computers offer these conveniences to consumers , they have many advantages for sell-
    ers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a
    wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows
    businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how
    fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the
    same time these computers reoord which hours are busiest and which employees are the most effi-
    cient , allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify
    preferred customers for promotional canlpaigns. Computers are relied on bv manufacturers for
    similar reasons. Computer-analyzed nlarketing reports can help to decide which products to em-
    phasize now, which to develop for the future , and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods
    in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
     Numerous other commercial enterprises , from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and
    electric utilities to milk processors , bring better and more efficialt services to consumers through
    the use of computers.
    55 . According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to__.
    A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
    B. obtain more convenient services than other people do
    C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
    D. cash money wherever he wishes to
    56. From the ast sentence of the first paragraph we learn that __.
    A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
    B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
    C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
    D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
    57. The phrase "ring up sales" (Line 3, Para. 2) most probably means "__".
    A. make an order of goods
    B. record sales on a cash register
    C. call the sales manager
    D. keep track of the goods in stock
    58. What is this passage mainly about?
    A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
    B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.
    C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.
    D. Advantages of credit cards in business.
    Passage 3
     Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For
    these children to develop to their full adult potential , their education must be adapted to those dif-
    ferences.
     Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their
    environnlent as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of
    the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and
    the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development.
    And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society' s understanding--the
    knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
     Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that minor we can see the strengths,
    the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great
    interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the
    strong feeling in our society that all citizens , whatever their special conditions , deserve the oppor-
    tunity to fully develop their capabllities.
     "All men are created equal. " We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning
    for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country' s founders to
    denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That
    concept implies educational opportunity for all children-the right of each child to receive help in
    learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court
    decisions have confirmed the right of all children-disabled or not-to an appropriate education ,
    and have ordered that pubLic schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In re-
    sponse , schools are modifying their programs , adapting instruction to children who are exception-
    al , to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
    59. In Paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that
    A. the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their famiLy and the society
    B. exceptional children are more influenced by their families than nomlal children are
    C. exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society
    D. the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional children
    60. The reason that the exceptional children receive so much concern in education is that__.
    A. they are expected to be leaders of the society
    B. they might become a burden of the society
    C. they should fully develop their potentials
    D. disabled children deserve special consideration
    61 . This passage mainly deals with__.
    A. the differences of children in their learning capabilities
    B. the definition of exceptional children in modern society
    C. the special educational programs for exceptional children
    D. the necessity of adapting education to exceptional children
    62 . From this passage we learn that the educational concern for exceptional children ___.
    A. is now enjoying legal support
    B. disagrees with the tradition of the country
    C. was clearly stated by the country' s founders
    D. will exert great influence over court decisions
    Passage 4
     "I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we'll know in vast detail how cancer
    cells arise, " says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. "But, " he cautions,
    "some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow.
    Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty
    years before cures were available. "
     This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five
    years. In the year 2000 , the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent.
    For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survivaL
    statistics are still discouraging-----13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pan-
    creas (胰腺) .
     With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The
    researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they disoovered that oncogenes, which
    are cancer-causing genes (基因) , are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radi-
    ation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes
    are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.
    The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are
    initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. "Changes are a nor-
    mal part of the evoLutionary process , " says oncologist William Haywar. Environmental factors can
    never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out , "We can' t prepare a medicine against cosmic
    rays. "
     The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.
    "First , we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to deter-
    mine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at leasl
    part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can counteract its action. "
    63. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to__.
    A. predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decade
    B. indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are bright
    C. prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty years
    D. warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered
    64. The author implies that bv the year 2000 ,__.
    A. there will be a drastic rise in the five-year survival rate of skin-cancer patients
    B. 90 percent of the skin-cancer patients today will still be living
    C. the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancers
    D. there won' t be a drastic increase of survival rate of all cancer patients
    65 . Oncogenes are cancer-causing genes__.
    A. that are always in operation in a healthy person
    B. which remain unharmful so long as they are not activated
    C. that can be driven out of normal cells
    D. which normal cells can' t turn off
    66 . The word "dormant" in the third paragraph most probably means__.
    A. dead B. ever-present C. inactive D. potential
    Passage 5
     Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding
    flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would
    have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then.
    He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inven-
    tions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and enor. Innovation is like soc-
    cer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than
    they score.
     The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the
    and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation
    and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs,
    and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see
    as fanciful abstractions , professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
     "Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there' s no particular virtue in doing
    things the way they have always been done, " wrote Rudolph Flexh, a language authority, this
    accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on
    wheels that make life more convenient : "How come nobody thought of that before?"
     The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators
    will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the av-
    erage person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparentLy simplest route. The in-
    novator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to
    be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.
     Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.
    67. What does the author probably mean by "untaught mind" in the first paragraph?
    A. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.
    B. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.
    C. A person who has had no education.
    D. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.
    68 . According to the author , what distinguishes innovators from non-innovators?
    A. The variety of ideas they have.
    B. The intelligence they possess.
    C. The way they deal with problems.
    D. The way they present their findings.
    69. The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because__.
    A. Rudolph Flesch is the best-known expert in the study of human creativity
    B. the quotation strengthens the assertion that creative individuals look for new ways of doing
    things .
    C. the reader is familiar with Rudolph Flesch' s point of view
    D. the quotation adds a new idea to the informatlon previously presented
    70. The phrase "march to a different drummer" (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly
    creative individuals are__.
    A. diligent in pursuing their goals
    B. reluctant to follow common ways of doing things
    C. devoted to the progress of science
    D. concemed about the advance of society
    Part Ⅳ English-Chinese Translation
     According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the
    horizons of scientific knowledge. (71 ) Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the
    insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and
    tools. (72) "In short" , a leader of the new school contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call
    it, was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded
    the reach of science in innumerable directions. "
     (73 )Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation
    have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails
    technology algues that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such
    as Edison attached great importance to, and derived great benefit from, craft information and
    technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments.
     The centerhiece of the argument of a technology-yes , genius-no advocate was an analysis of
    Gialileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from
    Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at
    the center of all heavenly motions. (74) Galileo' s greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the first
    person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve
    around the sun rather than around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new
    school of scientists, was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglass-
    es .
     Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute. (75)Whether the
    Govemment should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice ver-
    sa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.
