III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Alcohol affects the brain; and its immediate effects are more marked on those who are not used to the drug than on regular drinkers. It is not a stimulant but a depressant, which adversely affects concentration, removes inhabitations, and increases the risk of accidents. Under the influence of alcohol people are less able to exercise self-control and may say and do things that they afterwards regret——perhaps for the rest of their lives. For example, a girl who does not wish to have a baby may be made pregnant by a man whom she would not have chosen as the farther of her child; and a man may make pregnant a woman whom he would not have chosen as the mother of his child. Some other forms of drug taking, like drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, are part of group behavior. Such drug taking is encouraged by those who are already addicted to the drug, and by those who profit by making and selling the drug.
I mean one who starts taking a drug may soon become addicted to it. As with all bad habits, it is better not to start drug taking than to suffer the physical and emotional harm caused by the drug and to have the problem of trying to break the addiction. It is best, therefore, to refuse the drugs that is offered. Apart from other considerations, drugs that come from unreliable sources (because their manufacturer and distribution is against the law.) and not available in carefully measured and doses and their purity are not guaranteed. Their effects are unpredictable and they may well be dangerous. If such drugs are offered by so-called friends you wouldn't be well advised to find new friends, who share your values, and to continue being yourself.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Everybody gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until, finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame(荣誉)。
Because ill health is a universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness in always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standard, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution(体系,机构)。 To the sociologist(社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease.
In the simple pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer(治疗者)。 The later is typically also the priest(牧师), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: For example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with organizations such as nursing houses, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.

A、Nowadays most people believe
B、Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.

27. The word “authorize” in paragraph 2 means “______”。
A、make way for
B、give power to
C、write an order for
D、make it possible for
28. In paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as ______.
A、a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthy
B、a universal problem that affects every society
C、a social responsibility to treat ill health
D、a science that focuses on the treatment of disease
29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true?
A、In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill
B、In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing
C、Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.
D、there were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure them.
30. The author of this passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A、sociological aspects in medicine
B、medical treatment of diseases
C、the development of medical science
D、the role of religion in medicine
Passage three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage
Let's look at another example of how people's communication patterns differ: the way people conserve. Some foreigners have observed that when Americans carry on a conversation, it seems as if they are having a Ping-Pong game. One person has the ball and then hits it to the other side of the table. The other player hits the ball back and the game continues. If one person doesn't return the ball, then the conversation stops. Each part of the conversation follows this pattern: the greeting and the opening, the discussion of a topic, and the closing and farewell. If either person talks too much, the other may become impatient and feel that he is dominating the conversation. Similarly, if one person doesn't say enough or ask enough questions to keep the conversation going, the conversation stops.
Many North Americans are impatient with culturally different conversation styles simply because the styles are unfamiliar. For example, to many North Americans, it seems that some Latin Americans dominate conversations, or hold the ball too long. Speaking of her co-workers from several Latin American countries, one North Americans woman said,“ I just find it difficult to cut in. they seem to take such a long time to express themselves. They give you a lot of unnecessary details.” when she talked with them, she became tense, because she found it so hard to participate. Yet she also noted that when they talked to each other, nobody seemed uncomfortable or left out.
The North American woman didn't know how to interrupt the Latin American conversations because North American ways of listening and breaking in are very different. She had been taught to listen politely until the other person had finished talking. (once again, there are gender(性别)difference; it has been observed that men tend to interrupt women more than women interrupt men.)when the North American woman did what was “natural” or “normal” for her(i. e., listen politely without interrupting), she was not comfortable in the conversation with the Latin Americans. The result was that she became more passive in her conversations with her co-workers. The differences between the unspoken rules of conversation of each cultural group interfered with their on-the-job relationship.
31. When North Americans converse together, each one of the group is supposed to _______.
A. participate in the talk
B. play Ping-Pang games
C. interrupt the speaker
D. dominate the conversation
32. When North Americans converse with the Latin Americans, the North Americans would feel _______.
A. involved
B. left out
C. comfortable
D. relaxed
33. To the North Americans, the Latin Americans are __________.
A. polite
B. communicative
C. dominant
D. familiar
34. We can infer from this passage that ____________.
A. people from different cultures cannot communicate with each other.
B. different conversational styles may affect people's relationships
C. men are more talkative than women
D. North Americans' conversational habits are better than those of Latin Americans'
35. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Different Conversation Styles
B. Different Conversation Topics
C. Different Conversation Processes
D. Different Conversation Effects
