Part Ⅲ Reading comprehension
Directions:There are 3 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 should decided on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
“Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness,” wrote Samuel Johnson, a famous British writer and lexicographer(词典编写者)of the eighteenth century.
Today, amid the large amount of worldly temptations and material sources of modem-day enjoyment, people from all walks of life are still searching for the key to happiness. The question “How can we be happy?” seems to worry everyone. Indeed, in this day and age of scientific advancement and heavenly comforts, people still do not seem able to find a definite answer to the age-old problem of finding happiness. Happiness seems to be a very difficult thing. Solon’s dictum “Count no man happy until he is dead” seems to present both the poor and the rich with a continual threat causing them no end of anxiety.
In Oxford, England, a noted psychology professor, Dr Michael Argyle, has succeeded in his quest for happiness. Over the past eight years, he has been researching the mysterious antithesis(对立面)of depression, and has found convincing clues which he has embodied in his books.
The Psychology of Happiness” and “The Social Psychology of Everyday Life”
Dr Argyle explains that happiness comprises three essential elements ― first, positive emotions like joy; second, the absence of negative emotions like anxiety, and lastly, the non-emotional element which means a general, more profound satisfaction with life.
“The bigger source of happiness is a happy marriage,” Dr Argyle explains. “Job satisfaction.” he continues, “is another essential ingredient of happiness.” Do you feel you are doing a useful job? Do you feel you are achieving, or stand a chance of achieving your ambitions?
If you honestly have positive answers to these questions, then eventually, you will be happy; if not, then you can still be happy by reducing your ambitions and lowering your expectations in order to achieve happiness. The fact is, the higher your ambitions and dreams are, the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and therefore it will be harder to achieve satisfaction and happiness.
Dr Argyle offers other avenues people can take to find real happiness. Music, games or sports, a drink with a friend, a simple gathering at tea, lunch or dinner with loved ones, or simply thinking of nice things, call give a person happiness, if only for a few hours. Surprisingly, television programs, especially soap operas offer nothing but a bit of pleasurable moments. Often, television viewers are so carried away emotionally that they feel depressed or emotionally tired. Non-soap programmers, on the other hand, bore many viewers or sometimes deepen their misery. Dr Argyle further explains that wealth and worldly success do contribute to happiness. But in the ultimate analysis, Dr Argyle says, it is the person's temperament(性情)that makes him happy or unhappy.
“There are in our midst people who are naturally happy, and there are the sad ones.”
Happiness is indeed mysterious. As one wise man put it, “Few are those who have never had the chance to achieve happiness, but fewer those who have never taken that chance.”
51. What does the sentence “Count no man happy until he is dead” in paragraph 2 indicate?
A. one can only get happiness after death B. the dead are happier than the living
C. it is not so easy to be happy D. happiness is something of life and death
52. According to Dr Argyle, what is essential to one’ s happiness?
A. positive emotions
B. no negative emotions
C. a general satisfaction with life.
D. the above all
53. What is the writer’s attitude toward soap operas?
A. He thinks soap operas can make people happy
temporarily.
B. He thinks soap operas are boring.
C. He thinks soap operas make people more depressed
D. He thinks soap operas has nothing to do with one’s happiness.
54. According to Dr Argyle, what is the key fact that decides one’s happiness?
A. One’s marriage B. One’s ambition
C. One’s personality D. One’s emotion
Passage Two
If U.S. software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.
Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. That's largely because they have used new methods rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S -- but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In U.S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.
Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing (evaluating) and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.
Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India. Let's hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.
55. According to the passage, what is the biggest problem of the US software industry?
A. High cost B. Poor quality
C. Stronger competitors D. Negligence of experts’ advice
56. Which country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?
A. India. B. The US. C. Brazil. D. Germany.
57. Which of the following statements about Watts S. Humphrey is NOT true ?
A. He used to be an IBM employer.
B. He has worked for IBM for 27 years.
C. The Japanese uses his idea to bring down the cost of software.
D. His advice was not paid enough attention by IBM.
58. Who is more highly praised abroad than home?
A. Deming B. Juran C. Humphrey D. The above all
Passage Three
For most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce(trade)is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.
Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything for the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to get a refund for a clothes purchase.
One answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept. There is, however, another choice. Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.
In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines on-line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.
Customers will still need to use their judgment. But precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.
59. The author takes the example of the Japanese customer in paragraph 2 to show that ______ .
A. The US government takes responsibility to refund the online customer in Tokyo.
B. The Japanese government takes responsibility to refund the online customer in Tokyo.
C. The customer himself should be responsible for his purchase.
D. It is not so easy to count on the government to refund the customer in e-commerce.
60. In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?
A. Refuse to pay for the purchase.
B. Go to the seller and ask for a refund.
C. Appeal to consumer protection law. D. Complain about it on the Internet.
61. Which of the following statements is NOT true about e-commerce?
A. It is growing fast.
B. Customers have more choices.
C. The best way for the government to do to protect the customers would be to cooperate more.
D. It would be easier for consumers to complain.
62. We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is____.
A. very quick
B. very cautious C. very slow
D. rather careless
