PartⅡ Reading Comprehension(40%)
Passage1
    If you are going to be a straight talker, you have to believe that it’s a virtue.
    If you have an opinion and you just state it, it allows the other person to either try to change your opinion, or to agree with you. If you are quiet, people think you agree. How can you then further the conversation when you have different opinions and they are not really exposed? Agreeing is easy. Disagreeing takes more guts.
    Several years back, when I was CEO at a company, there was a very senior woman who was very smart and well spoken, but she did not wear appropriate clothes. It was distracting and she was not being taken seriously. I said to her manager, who was male, “You need to tell her.” He said, “Oh, no way.”
    So I called her in and directly stated what I thought was happening. I told her, “You’re not getting the respect you deserve.” I said, “Go to the store and get a personal shopper. Just say, ‘I’m a senior businessperson and need help dressing appropriately’”. She came back, and she was completely a different person. She said she felt really good. And her promotion went way up.
    Early in my business career, if people asked me a question, I’d try to answer it honestly. And that was rewarded. I had managers who wanted me around because I would actually tell them what was happening.
    I was raised by my grandma, and she was a pretty straight talker because she thought you could handle it. My advice is to be realistic. Being honest and truthful is part of being a good person.
31. The woman did not get promoted because she did not ____.
A. dress appropriately
B. take her work seriously
C. get on will with her colleagues
C. follow her manager’s instructions
32. The underlined phrase “take more guts” in paragraph 2 refers to ____.

C. take more courage
D. need more communication
33. According to the writer, talking in a straight allows one to ____.
A. become an opinion leader
B. make friends easily
C. become a respectable person
D. take further action
34. From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that the writer tends to talk frankly possibly due to the influence of
A. his workmates
B. his leaders
C. his friends
D. his family
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Straight Talker
B. Different opinions

Passage 2
    A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
    The unpunctual man, on the contrary, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产) as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he cannot get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
    Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
36. The main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person is that a punctual person ____
A. has lots of appointments while an unpunctual one has few appointments
B. does everything at the right time while an unpunctual one seldom does so
C. has much time to do everything while an unpunctual one has little time to anything
D. does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual one does everything behind the schedule
37. What’s the main reason why a person is always unpunctual according to the passage?
A. He doesn’t care much about time
B. he is much busier than other people
C. He is always in a hurry when he works
D. he always mismanages and wastes his time
38. The third paragraph is developed by giving____.
A. a fact
B. an opinion
C. an example
D. an evidence
39. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____.
A. an unpunctual person usually loses his friends
B. an unpunctual person often fails doing any important task
C. unpunctuality may result in fewer appointments and opportunities
D. unpunctuality may lead to heavy losses for both public and private affairs
40. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Valuable time
B. Popular appointment
C. Harm of unpunctuality
D. Advantage of punctuality
Passage 3
    Once upon a time, two brothers, Jack and Tom, who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict. For the past 20 years, they had been on good terms farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed. The dispute began with a small misunderstanding and grew into a major difference and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words.
    One morning, there was a knock on Jack’s door. It was a carpenter looking for a few days' work. Jack offered him a job saying,” Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. There used to be a meadow between us. Last week he pulled down the dam on the small river and now there is a stream instead. Well, he may have done this to offend me, but I’ll do one better.”
    “See that pile of lumber (木材)by the house, I want you to build me a fence—an 8 foot fence.” The carpenter said ,” I think I understood the situation. Show me the nails  and the and I ‘ll post hole digger (打桩机)be able to do a job that satisfies you.”
    John had to go into town, 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.
    John’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! His younger brother, was coming towards them with his hands outstretched." You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done." The two 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 Jack. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build."

Passage 4
    Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
    "To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density", said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. "The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."
    Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
    "People hear the word 'nuclear' and think of something very dangerous," he said, "However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems."
    His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
    "The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor," Kwon said, "By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."
    Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
46. The passage gets started by ____.
A. an introduction
B. an example
C. a question
D. a conclusion
47. What do you know about Jae Kwon?
A. He is teaching chemistry at MU
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. he was good at computer engineering.
D. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
48. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3 and 4?
A. The writer introduces methods of providing power density
B. The writer intends to describe a nuclear-powered system
C. The writer introduces nuclear batteries that can be safely used
D. The writer is likely to show chemical batteries are widely applied
49. Liquid semiconductor is sued to ____.
A. control the lattice structure
B, show the power of nuclear batteries
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D. reduce the damage in lattice structure
50. The passage is most probably from a ____.
A. science news report
B. book review
C. science fiction novel
D. newspaper advertisement
