四Reading Comprehension （30分）
Passage One
In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they’ve become wealthier and more worldly-wi. Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Expod to higher standards of rvice elwhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are tting a new standard of customer rvice, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Let’s be nicer, ” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without competition.”
Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well
. Monopolies (垄断者) that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful (报复的) consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates. Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad rvice.” The electric company, who monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring urs to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour. The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction (拍卖)，has retrained its employees to emphasize rvice and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, prai outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.
1. It may be inferred from the passage that .
A) customer rvice in Israel is now improving
B) wealthy Israeli customers are hard to plea
C) the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel
D) Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones
the author’s view, higher rvice standards are impossible in Israel .
A) if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management
B) unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers
C) if there’s no competition among companies
D) without strict routine training of employees
3. If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in ca of a power failure, .
A) they can have it fixed in no time
B) in’s no longer necessary to make an appointment
C) the appointment takes only half a day to make
D) they only have to wait half an hour at most
example of El Al Airlines shows that .
A) revengeful customers are a threat to the monopoly of enterpris
B) an ad campaign is a way out for enterpris in financial difficulty
C) a good slogan has great potential for improving vice
D) staff retraining is esntial for better rvice
5. Why did Bezaq’s international branch lo 40% of its market share?
A) Becau the rates it offered were not competitive enough.
B) Becau customers were dissatisfied with its past rvice.
C) Becau the rvice offered by its competitors was far better.
D) Becau it no longer received any support from the government.
Passage Two
According to a survey, which was bad on the respons of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)” than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.
Not surprising in the hard times, the student’s major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” It follows then that today the most popular cour is not literature or history but accounting.
Interest in teaching, social rvice and the “altruistic” fields is at a
low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.
That’s no surpri either. A friend of mine (a sales reprentative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job — even before she completed her two-year associate degree.
While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of the other contributions — be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diver wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to e the connections between things, as well as to e beyond our immediate needs.
Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company: no job. How shortsighted in the long run!
But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral n. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机)：“Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you pleas nd in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”
From the long-term point of view, that’s wheat education really ought to be about.
6. According to the author’s obrvation, college students .
A) have never been so materialistic as today
B) have never been so interested in the arts
C) have never been so financially well off as today
D) have never attached so much importance to moral n
students’ criteria for lecting majors today have much to do with .
A) the influences of their instructors
B) the financial goals they ek in life
C) their own interpretations of the cours
D) their understanding of the contributions of others
8. By saying “While it’s true that… be they scientific or artistic? (Lines 1-3, Para. 5), the author means that .
A) business management should be included in educational programs
B) human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed
C) human intellectual development has reached new heights
D) the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked
ng the diver wisdom of others can .
A) create varying artistic interests
B) help people e things in their right perspective
C) help improve connections among people
D) regulate the behavior of modern people
10．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A) Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.
B) Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.
C) People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.
D) Career ekers should not focus on immediate interests only.
Passage Three
On average, American ki
ds ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more that they did in 1981. They also did more houhold work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet (芭蕾舞). Involvement in sports, in particular, ro almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log hall that time. All in all, however, children's leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%
"Children are affected by the same time crunch (危机) that affects their parents," says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children's timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and "male breadwinner" houholds spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents.19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very mesd-up kids. "Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himlf," says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.
The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time" watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they're spending less time in front of the TV t, however, kids aren't replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let's face it, who's got the time?
11. By mentioning "the same time crunch" (Line 1, Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means
A) children have little time to play with their parents
B) children are not taken good care of by their working parents
C) both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
D) both parents and children have trouble managing their time
12. According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is
A) quite convincing C) totally groundless
B) partially true D) rather confusing
13. According to the author a child develops better if
A) he has plenty of time reading and studying
B) he is left to play with his peers in his own way
C) he has more time participating in school activities
D) he is free to interact with his working parents
14. The author is concerned about the fact that American kids
A) are engaged in more and more structured activities
B) are increasingly neglected by their working mothers
C) are spending more and more time watching TV
D) are involved less and less in houhold work
15. We can infer from the passage that
A) extracurricular activities promote children's intelligence
B) most children will turn to reading with TV ts switched off
C) efforts
to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D) most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children
