Part II Reading Comprehension (3*10 = 30 points)
Directions: There are 3 passages in this ction. 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 decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
牛马生活
Questions 1 to 5 are bad on the following passage.
For Roy Johnson, a nior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed him the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz.
“It took them a while to realize that I was not a valet,” says Johnson. “It didn’t matter that I was dresd for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal, just as he had. What mattered was that I didn’t fit his idea of someone who could be equal to him.”
    Such incidents, which are depressingly familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes and social class, help explain why black and white attitudes often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68 percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38 percent of whites agreed.
    Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official gregation(隔离) is a bad memory and 40 years of law, policies and court decisions have helped African-Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Indeed, a black man born in Harlem could be the nation’s next president.
    But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, like the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivia
l misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismisd as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are clearly racist; others may be evidence of innsitivity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.
    “What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surpri that any of this happens,” obrves Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who says she has been watched at shopping malls.

答案:1-5 DDAAD
Passage two
Questions 6 to 7 are bad on the following passage:   
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few thing
s more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is incread by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nur, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lo professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the conquent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though ther

e are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
