Paper Two

Part I Error Correction (15 minutes)

Directions: This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to add a word, cross out a word, or change a word. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (¡Ä) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you cross out a word, put a slash (/) in the blank. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank.

One of strangest things about dispute over advertising 77._____

is that the greater the fuss the more of a mystery the

industry itself seem to become. Advertising is a 72_____

passionate area. It seems to affect those who attack it and those

who defend it in remarkable similar ways. 73. _____

Before long both are exhibiting the same compulsive urge

to overstate their case to that it is difficult to believe that

the critics and the defenders of advertising

are even arguing for the same thing. 74. _____

But just as it seemed sensible to us to regard advertising

without go to either extreme, so it also seemed logical 75. _____

to try and find, as cold-bloodedly as we could, what advertising

in the Britain of the sixties really was.

We knew that it consumes around $950 million a year, 76. _____

or roughly 2 per cent of the national income. We knew that it employed

something over 200,000 individuals, the majority of which 77. _____

were paid salaries considerably above the national average.

And we knew that it was supposedly run in accordance to 78. _____

certain rather vague and often complex rules and professional orders.

But once we tried finding out exactly what all this money

went on, what these highly paid individuals did for it (and with it),

and how the rules and orders influenced them, a curious thing happened.

This strange animal called advertising, so dislike by its 79. _____

critics and so beloved by its defenders, began to disappear.

In its place was advertising men and advertising 80. _____

agencies¡ªall working in different ways and to different

rules and all showing quit startling differences of competence,

taste and effectiveness.

Part II Translation from English to Chinese (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part, there are five items, which you should translate into Chinese, each item consists of one or two sentence. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read in the Second Part of the Test Paper.

You are allowed 15 minutes to do the translation. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.

81. (Lines 2ª²5, Para.1, Passage 1)

It has had effect of increasing consumption possibilities for households by allowing them to purchase thousands of dollars of merchandise, ranking from autos, clothing, to electrical appliances.





82. (Lines 8ª²12, Para.2, Passage 1)

It must also be kept in mind that unpaid monthly balances means added interest charges. Furthermore, the use of credit cards will add to the cost of the product since the shopkeeper does not receive the money at the time of the purchase.





83. (Lines 10ª²14, Para. 1, Passage 2)

In some places it is a habit to burn waste material lying about, but such burning destroys the organic matter in the dead plants. Although the ashes that are left are valuable when put on the land, a better practice is to bury the waste, so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.





84. (Lines 9ª²11, Para.1, Passage 3)

Yet these old controversies give no less revealing an insight into the minds of our grandfathers than do the major issues of the last century.





85. (Lines 1ª²3, Para.3, Passage 4)

The advent of private hospital health insurance, which provided middleª²class patients with the purchasing power to pay for private hospital services, guaranteed the private hospital a regular source of income.





Part III Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).

With the prospect of coal and petroleum supplies being depleted and with air pollution becoming an increasing concern, the major countries of the world are seeking alternate sources of energy. If a means to obtain energy from water, especially from the ocean, can be effected economically, it would furnish a neverª²ending supply of energy, since 70% of the earth's surface is ocean and another 10% is fresh water in rivers and lakes.

From the beginning of time man has used water power as a source of work energy¡ªwaterfalls and dams¡ªbut these are fresh water sources and are landlocked. The seas have contributed little or nothing in the way of power.

The use of temperature variation between currents is one area of exploration. Ocean water is heated by the sun near the equator and drawn by the rotation of the earth toward the equator. The differential between the two currents is 35 degrees to 45 degrees Fahrenheit and to use it the scientists must find the places where they run near land and are not too far away from each other. One area that meets these requirements is the Caribbean Sea.

In the United States the National Space Administration and the Energy Research and Development Administration have been working on another kind of thermal sea energy proposal. One plan would somewhat resemble the operation of a refrigerator on a vast scale. Warm water would be the heat source, cold water the heat sink. A component such as Freon (·úÀû°º) would be liquid at a cold temperature and turn to gas as it warmed.

Oceans also offer wave power, tides, and the chemical substances of salt water as potential sources of energy. All these uses are theoretically possible.

Britain's Department of Energy is interested in wave power, using a string of tear drop devices that depend on very active wave areas and 100 foot depths. In addition to this, the British are working on a method that the Japanese have already put into practical use on a small scale for their navigational marks. This method is called a waving water column and rides the waves with a series of cylinders having oneª²way air valves (¿ÕÆø·§). Wave movement produces air under pressure that has only one escape way¡ªto a turbine (ÎÐÂÖ»ú) that powers a generator.

Questions:

86. According to the author, the major countries of the world seek other sources of energy because the coal and petroleum supplies are being depleted and _______________________________________________________.

87. List one of the major ways of using water as a source of energy suggested in this passage:

88. Scientists believe the energy obtained from water would be an endless supply of energy because _______________________________________________________.

89. Scientists can utilize the temperature variation between ocean currents only when they can find the places where the warm ocean currents and cold ocean currents run near land and ____________________________________________________________.

90. It is suggested in the passage that oceans also offer as _____________________________________________potential sources of energy
