Part II Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions : After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 31 through 36. For each question or statement there are foure choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.
There are some problem areas for international students and immigrants studying in the Unites States. Making friends is a challenge (this is also true for some American students). Many colleges and universities offer a variety of student clubs and organizations where both foreign-born and native American students have a great chance of meeting people with shared interests. Information about these out-of-class activities is often posted in the student center and listed in the student newspaper. Sometimes foreign students and immigrant students find Americans to be “cliquish(有派性的)”.(Americans find some non-U.S-born students to be cliquish as well.) If people feel separated from the social aspects of American college life, they should actively seek people with shared interests. It is unlikely that students will make friends just by passing people on the campus.
Foreign or immigrant students may feel confused during the first few weeks at a new school because they do not understand the system and are not willing to ask questions. Many students do not take advantage of the numerous services offered on campus that assist students in developing new skills and social groups. Some colleges offer students tutorial(辅导的) support in such subjects as writing, language study, computer skills, and other basic subjexts. Students who appear to be most successful in “learning the ropes” are those who can solve problems by taking the initiative to ask questions, locate resources, and experience new social situations.
31. In the United States, students can find friends with the same interests by _______.
making friends onh the campus
reading the student newspaper
visiting the student center
joining the student clubs
32. The sentence “people fell separated from the social aspects of American college life”(Line 8, Para.1) means they have difficulty in _______.
joining social activities within the campus
being easily accepted by the university
finding people with shared interests
gtting a job in American society
33. When they first come to college, some foreign students may feel confused because ________.
they are denied any help from people around
they are provided with few services
they are faced with an unfamiliar educational system
they are unwilling to adapt themselves to the new environment
34. The phrase “learing the ropes” (Lines 6, Para 2) is closest in meaning to _______.
finding the way to develop new skills
having the skills to make conversations
learning how to answer questions
knowing how to handle problems
35. From the passage we may conclude that foreign stuents _______.
may face some problems in adjusting to college life
are unlikely to be successful in American college life
are not good at developing friendship and social groups
can hardly learn well they enter an American college
Task 2
The brand(商标) name puts a face on every company. Names like McDonald’s, GM, Apple, Intel, and a large number of others have long become very popular. They’ve also given ustomers a point of reference when thinking about a company. Good brand names might help companies avoid heavy costs and bring them greater profits.
Usually companies create names that are easy to learn and remember. Firstly, the name should create interest. Rhymes and humor are some ways to gain interest, but there are others as well. Think about your customers and what would interest them. Secondly, the name should present a picture or image. People remember them most because the name is stored in pictures and words. Thirdly, the name shouldbe meaningful. It can be done with lots of advertising, but names that are themselves more meaningful to customers are more easily stored in memory. More important, the name should have meaningful associations that show the benefits customers want. Then the name should have some emotion. Emotional associations are easier to learn and remember. The Love Boat, for instance, is very easy to remember. Finally, the name should be simple so that it is easier to learn and remember.
36. Why does the passage mention the brand names such as McDonald’s and GM in the first paragraph?
To show that a good brand name is significant for a company.
To tell readers that they are important and popular terms.
To introduce some well-known brand names to reader.
To explain why those companies are successful.
37. According to the passage, a good brand name ________.
must be shown in pictures
must be advertised a lot
is attractive to customers
is always full of humor
38. Which of the following is most important in making a brand name popular?
Being easy to remember.
Having lots of advertisements.
Gaining support from associations.
Showing the benefits customers can have.
39. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
People prefer strange brand names to ordinary ones.
Customers are interested in emotional brand names.
Brand names advertised in pictures are easy to make.
A brand name has little to do with a company’s profits.
40. What is the main purpose of this passage?
To tell how difficult it is to make a good brand name.
To compare different ways of choosing brand names.
To recommend some popular brand names.
To introduce what a good brand name is.
Task 3
