Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A Multiple choice (20 pints).

Directions: After reading each of the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A., B., C. and D.. You should make the correct choice.

Passage 1

In the past several years, much has been written about suicides( 自杀). and their connection to high unemployment rates in Japan. Dire statistics show that in the years since 1998, Japan's suicide numbers have topped( 居....最高). the 30, 000 mark( 标记). annually.

Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomenon, and each time one of the regular Japanese language newspapers comes out with a higher unemployment figure, they tie them together with the growing suicide problem, and with a great deal of justification(理由).

There is an unhappy little spot near the base of Mount Fuji (富士山). called the Aokigahara woods (吉木原森林). which happens to be one of the most infamous places in Japan for suicidal people to do themselves in. According to figures released by the Fuji-Yoshida police station in Yamanashi Prefecture this year, approximately 78 suspected suicide victims were found hanging from the trees, an increase from the former record of 73 found back in 1998.

Statistics from the World Health Organization show that the majority of suicide victims are males from age 40 to the mid-60s. Many of these men committed suicide because of a feeling of dishonoring the family name. Others simply watched their companies let them go after years of devoted work, and couldn't find gainful employment because of their age.

31. What was connected to suicides in Japan in the past several years?

A. An unhappy spot. B. High unemployment rates.

C. A feeling of dishonoring the family name. D. An unhappy marriage.

32. The word “cover” in “Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomenon” (paragraph 2. means ___________

A. place one thing over another B. include C. report D. protect

33. Why is the Aokigahara woods called “an unhappy little spot”?

A. Because it is an infamous place. B. Because it is an unpopulated place.

C. Because it is a place for suicidal people to kill themselves in.

D. Because it is near the base of Mount Fuji.

34. Most of suicide victims are ____________.

A. middle-aged males B. men from age 40 to the mid-60s

C. blue collar workers D. white collar workers

35. The reason why these men committed suicide is that _______________.

A. they felt they dishonored the family name

B. they couldn’t find gainful employment because of their age after losing their job

C. they were afraid of being old

D. Both A and B.

Passage 2

Only a tiny proportion of accidents on the road are truly accidental. A house may quite unpredictably fall on a car or the road may collapse under it; a mechanical fault beyond the reasonable knowledge or expectation of the driver may bring disaster. Someone, somewhere--a garage mechanic or district surveyor--may be to blame, but the driver concerned is not. Such genuine “Act of God” types of accident are extremely rare; to ascribe one per cent of all car accidents to them is probably grossly to inflate the figures. For all other accidents some or all of those involved in them are to blame. Several people may share the blame in different proportions, but the fact that one of them is chiefly at fault does not make the others guiltless. It is very seldom that the driver of a car involved in an accident is in no way to blame for it, and far too many drivers are far too ready with a glib “it was the other fellow’s fault”. So it may have been, but was it really not their own as well? Every driver should search his memory and his conscience (良心).before saying “It was not my fault.” The maxim(座右铭).for all of us should be: If I have an accident, I am to blame. It may not quite always be true, but it is the only sound working rule.

36. The passage deals with the question of _____________.

A. what to do when an accident happens B. what causes an accident

C. how to avoid accidents D. who is responsible for an accident

37. “Genuine” accidents ___________.

A. are very rare

B. are often caused by God

C. account for 1% of all car accidents

D. account for more than 1% of all car accidents

38. An “Act of God” is ____________.

A. anything done by God

B. a law like Ten Commandments

C. something completely unpredictable

D. something good coming unexpectedly

39. The driver concerned is not to blame when ________.

A. a car runs into a wall B. a house collapses and falls on a car

C. a car hit on a rock and tumbles over D. somebody is hit by a car

40. Which statement do you think the writer would disagree with?

A. Drivers are quick to admit their mistakes.

B. In an accident, you should first think it may be your fault.

C. If a driver has an accident, he is to blame.

D. The diver usually has some responsibilities for an accident.
