第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出好选项。

A

About 70 percent of employers complain that employees who hold PhDs show little creation in their work performance, according to a recent survey.

The number of PhD students in China reached 246,300 in2009, about five times the figure in 1999. China replaced the United States to become the world’s top producer of doctorate holders in 2008, according to an Asia Times report.

“Nowadays, it is not rare for people in their 30s to become professors in Chinese universities, but I really doubt their experience and capability at such a young age,” said Ge Daoshun, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Almost half of the professors admitted each of them had to direct more than seven PhD candidates. Some 60 percent of PhD candidates admitted they have been given more than half of their professors’ research projects. The relationship between PhD students and their teachers has become an employment, in other words, a “master-apprentice” relationship, since professors use their students as cheap labor to do research.

“Chinese universities should reform the tutorial system and introduce more stricter requirements for people to get a PhD diploma to improve the quality of education,” Ge told China Daily.

However, Liu Xin, a 25-year-old PhD candidate at the University of Sussex in England, argued that a major reason China is producing low quality doctorates is that most of the candidates do not have a passion for academic research… “The best college student s of China have seldom ended up in academic positions. Most of them want to work in either banking or foreign companies, which pay much better.”

21. What does the underline word in Para,5 mean?

A. teacher B. director C. student D. co-operator

22. From what Liu Xin said in the last paragraph, we can know______.

A. the quality of doctorates is based on the quality of students

B. the PhD students in China are not so good as those in western countries

C. the PhD students in China are not good at academic research

D. the PhD students in other countries do not want to make money

23. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A. PhD education in China

B. PhDs: High in number, low in quality

C. The differences of PhDs between Chinese and other countries

D. The “master-apprentice” relationship

B

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible t o have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the vill age had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil .Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help. It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.

24. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Moral deeds of people.

B. Religious activities of the church.

C. Moral goodness of the giver.

D. Arguments on giving to beggars.

25. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?” in the second paragraph?

A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past .

C. We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

D. Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

27. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .

A. the cases can be so different B. there are so many beggars

C. there is so much money wasted D. there are so many different ar guments

C

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious one in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed.

Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’ door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. “Could I help you?” “Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the creek(河沟) at that farm. That’s my neighbor, in fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow(草地) between us and he took his bulldozer(推土机) to the levee(堤) and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll go him one better. I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence —so I won’t need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.

There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge— a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work— and his younger brother was coming across, his hand outstretched.

“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”

The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the older brother.

“I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but, I have so many more bridges to build.”

28. What was life like for the two brothers before the conflict?

A. They lived a poor, miserable life.

B. They were friendly neighbors, helping each other.

C. They never spoke to each other.

D. They lived together as one family.

29. Which of the following best describes the carpenter?

A. He was skilled but dishonest.

B. He was hardworking but unskilled.

C. He was clever, hardworking, but cold hearted.

D. He was clever, helpful and skilled.

30. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. A Fine Piece of Work

B. A Clever Carpenter

C. A Conflict between Two Brothers

D. Two Brothers

31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The younger brother used his bulldozer to dig a creek.

B. After the conflict John was angry with his younger brother.

C. At first the carpenter planned to build an 8-foot fence as John asked him to.

D. The two brother made peace at last.

D

People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness.But in the developing world a lack of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children.The World Health Organization links the lack of vitamin A to as many as 250,000 child deaths every year.w w w .x k b 1.c o m

One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh.Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta-carotene(胡萝卜素),which our body can change into vitamin A. Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially bred for growing conditions in Africa could help solve the lack of vitamin A there.

But, first, more people will need to be persuaded to eat them. Jan Low with the International Potato Center, a research organization says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa.Jan Low says,“We do have an image problem with sweet potato in general in sub-Saharan Africa.It is seen as a crop of the poor.”Ms Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case another crop fails. The sweet potatoes commonly grown in Africa have white or yellow flesh.But, more importantly, they are low in vitamin A.

Jan Low took part in a project to study how best to market orange sweet potatoes to Africans.She worked on an information campaign in Mozambique and Uganda.The campaign included radio messages about the nutritional benefits of the orange sweet potato.They advertised its ability to“fight diseases, make you strong, clear your skin and make you look healthy.” In areas without radio, the campaigners spread the message through community theater.The performances included singing, dancing and storytelling.And everywhere they went, the campaigners wore orange T-shirts and hats.They even drove orange vehicles.Jan Low says the color made it easier to gain public attention.

Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. He points to efforts in the past to increase the popularity of other nutritious crops. He says most of these efforts failed because organizers of the campaigns did not consider what people wanted to eat.But Mr. Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa. For one thing, except for the color, the vegetable is similar to what people already use.

32. What does the writer want to tell us in Para.1?

A. Vitamin A in food may cause night blindness.

B. People should get enough vitamin A in their diet.

C. The developing countries are in lack of vitamin A.

D. Vitamin A causes too many child deaths every year.

33. Jan Low works for .

A. the World Health Organization

B. the International Potato Center

C. the government of Mozambique and Uganda

D. the United Nations Food and Agriculture organization

34. The underlined phrase“ points to" of Para.5 is closest in meaning to

A. lets B. brings C. takes D. mentions

35. The passage mainly talks about _ .

A. an image problem with orange sweet potato

B. an information campaign in sub-Saharan area

C. the popularity of vitamin A

D. the function of vitamin A in people's diet
