Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION
［30 MIN.］
SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION
［25 MIN.］
In this section there are four passages followed
by questions or unfinished statements, each with
four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
Mark your answers on your answer A
It often happens that a number of applicants
with almost identical qualifications and
A. vibrant B. violent C. energetic D. full
experience all apply for the same position. In
their educational background, special skills and
work experience, there is little, if anything, to
choose between half a dozen candidates. How
then does the employer make a choice? Usually
on the basis of an interview.
There are many arguments for and against the
interview as a selection procedure. The main
argument against it is that it results in a wholly
subjective decision. As often as not, emplyers do
not choose the best candidate, they choose the
candidate who makes a good first impression on
them. Some employers, of course, reply to this
argument by saying that they have become so
experienced in interviewing staff that they are
able to make a sound assessment of each
candidate’s likely performance. The main
argument in favour of the interview — and it is,
perhaps, a good argument — is that an
employer is concerned not only with a
candidate’s ability, but with the suitability of his
or her personality for the particular work
situation. Many employers, for example, will
overlook occasional inefficiencies from their
secretary provided she has a pleasant
personality.
It is perhas true to say, therefore, that the real
purpose of an interview is not to assess the
assssable aspects of each candidate but to make
a guess at the more intangible things, such as
personality, character and social ability.
Unfortunately, both for the employers and
applicants for jobs, there are many people of
great ability who simply do not interview well.
There are also, of course, people who interview
extremely well, but are later found to be very
unsatisfactory employees. Candidates who
interview well tend to be quietly confident, but
never boastful; direct and straightforward in
their questions and answers; cheerful and
friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely
enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who
interview badly tend to be at either end of the
spectrum of human behaviour. They are either
very shy or over-confident. They show either a
lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either
talk too little or never stop talking. They are
either over-polite or rudely abrupt.
can infer from the passage that an
employer might tolerate his secretary’s
occasional mistakes, if the latter is ____
A. direct. B. cheerful. C. shy. D. iew as a selection procedure?
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Objective. D.
Indifferent.
ing to the passage, people argue over
the interview as a selection procedure mainly
because they have ____.
A. different selection procedures
B. different puposes in the interviewC. different standards for competenceD. different experiences in interviewsindicate ____.
A. a link between success in interview and
is the author’s attitude towards the
purpose of the last paragraph is to
personalitypersonality
B. connections between work abilities and
C. differences in interview experienceD. differences in personal behaviour
TEXT B
Every year thousands of people are arrested and
taken to court for shop-lifting. In Britain alone,
about HK$3,000,000’s worth of goods are stolen
from shops every week. This amounts to
something like HK$150 million a year, and
represents about 4 per cent of the shops’ total
stock. As a result of this “shrinkage〞 as the
shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher
prices.
Shop-lifters can be divided into three main
categories: the professionals, the deliberate
amateur, and the people who just can’t help
themselves. The professionals do not pose much
of a problem for the store detectives, who,
assisted by closed circuit television, two-way
mirrors and various other technological devices,
can usually cope with them. The professionals
tend to go for high value goods in parts of the
shops where security measures are tightest. And,
in any case, they account for only a small
percentage of the total losses due to shop-lifting.
The same applies to the deliberate amateur who
is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of
them get caught sooner or later, and they are
dealt with severely by the courts.
The real problem is the person who gives way to
a sudden temptation and is in all other respects
an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to
what one would expect, this kind of shop-lifter is
rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs
the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He
steals because he simply cannot stop himself.
And there are countless others who, because of
age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply
forget to pay for what they take from the shops.
When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and
the decision whether to send for the police or not
is in the hands of the store manager.
In order to prevent the quite incredible growth
in ship-lifting offences, some stores, in fact, are
doing their best to separate the thieves from the
confused by prohibiting customers from taking
bags into the store. However, what is most
worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps,
that it is yet another instance of the innocent
majority being penalized and inconvenienced
because of the actions of a small minority. It is
the aircraft hijack situation in another form.
Because of the possibility of one passenger in a
million boarding an aircraft with a weapon, the
other 999,999 passengers must subject
themselves to searches and delays. Unless the
situation in the shops improves, in ten years’
time we may all have to subject ourselves to a
body-search every time we go into a store to buy
a tin of beans!
does the honest public have to pay
higher prices when they go to the shops?
A. There is a “shrinkage〞 in market values.
B. Many goods are not available.
C. Goods in many shops lack variety.
D. There are many cases of shop-lifting.
third group of people steal things
because they ____
not resist the temptation. D. can not
afford to pay for ns ____.
A. can possibly steal things because of their
poverty
C. have never stolen goods from the
supermarketsthings
D. are difficult to be caught when they steal
of the following statements is NOT
true about the main types of shop-lifting?
B. can possibly take away goods without paying
ing to the passage, law-abiding
A. are mentally ill. B. are quite absent-minded.
A. A big percentage of the total losses are caused
by the professionals.
B. The deliberate amateurs will be punished
severely if they get caught.
C. People would expect that those who can’t
help themselves are the store detectives.
aircraft hijack situation is used in order
to show that ____.
A. “the professionals do not pose much of a
problem for the stores〞
B. some people “somply forget to pay for what
they take from the shops〞
D. the third type of shop-lifters are dangerous
people
TEXT C
My bones have been aching again, as they often
do in humid weather. They ache like history:
things long done with, that still remain as pain.
C. “the honest public has to pay higher prices〞
D. The professionals don’t cause a lot of trouble
When the ache is bad enough it keeps me from
sleeping. Every night I yearn for sleep, I strive
for it; yet it flutters on ahead of me like a
curtain. There are sleeping pills, of course, but
the doctor has warned me against them.
Last night, after what seemed hours of damp
turmoil, I got up and crept slipperless down the
staris, feeling my way in the faint street light
that came through the window. Once safely
arrived at the bottom, I walked into the kitchen
and looked around in the refrigerator. There
was nothing much I wanted to eat: the remains
of a bunch of celery, a blue-tinged heel of bread,
a lemon going soft. I’ve fallen into the habits of
the solitary; my meals are snatched and random.
Furtive snacks, furtive treats and picnics. I
made do with some peanut butter, scooped
directly from the jar with a forefinger: why
dirty a spoon?
Standing there with the jar in one hand and my
finger in my mouth, I had the feeling that
someone was about to walk into the room —
some other woman, the unseen, valid owner —
and ask me what in hell I was doing in her
kitchen. I’ve had it before, the sense that even in
the course of my most legitimate and daily
actions — peeling a banana, brushing my teeth
— I am trespassing.
At night the house was more than ever like a
stranger’s. I wandered through the front room,
the dining room, the parlour, hand on the wall
for balance. My various possessions were
floating in their own pools of shadow, denying
my ownership of them. I looked them over with
a burglar’s eye, deciding what might be worth
the risk of stealing, what on the other hand I
would leave behind. Robbers would take the
obvious things — the silver teapot that was my
grandmother’s, perhaps the hand-painted china.
The television set. Nothing I really want.
author could not fall asleep because ____.
A. it was too damp in the bedroomB. she had run out of sleeping pills
C. she was in very poor healthD. she felt very hungry
author did not like the food in the
refrigerator because it was NOT ____.
A. fresh B. sufficientdelicious
C. nutritious D.
“At night the house was more than ever
like a stranger’s〞(Line 1, Para. 4), the author
probably means that ____.
A. the house was too dark at nightC. she felt much more lonely at nightTEXT D
The chief problem in coping with foreign
motorists is not so much remembering that they
are different from yourself, but that they are
enormously variable. Cross a frontier without
adjusting and you can be in deep trouble.
One of the greatest gulfs separating the driving
nations is the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, it
is the mental distance between the European
B. ther were unfamiliar rooms in the houseD. the furniture there didn’t belong to her
and the American motorist, particularly the
South American motorist. Compare, for
example, an English driver at a set of traffic
lights with a Brazilian.
Very rarely will an Englishman try to anticipate
the green light by moving off prematurely. You
will find the occasional sharpie who watches for
the amber to come up on the adjacent set of
lights. However, he will not go until he receives
the lawful signal. Brazilians view the thing quite
differently. If, in fact, they see traffic lights
at all, they regard them as a kind of roadside
decoration.
The natives of North America are much more
disciplined. They demonstrate this in their
addiction to driving in one lane and sticking to it
— even if it means settling behind some great
truck for many miles.
To prevent other drivers from falling into
reckless ways, American motorists try always to
stay close behind the vehicle in front which can
make it impossible, when all the vehicles are
moving at about 55 mph, to make a real lane
change. European visitors are constantly falling
into this trap. They return to the Old World still
flapping their arms in frustration because while
driving in the State in their car they kept failing
to get off the highway when they wanted to and
were swept along to the next city.
However, one nation above all others lives
scrupulously by its traffic regulations — the
Swiss. In Switzerland, if you were simply to
anticipate a traffic light, the chances are that the
motorist behind you would take your number
and report you to the police. What is more, the
police would visit you; and you would be
convicted. The Swiss take their rules of the
road so seriously that a diver can be ordered to
appear in court and charged for speeding on
hearsay alone, and very likely found guilty.
There are slight regional variations among the
French, German and Italian speaking areas, but
it is generally safe to assume that any car
bearing a CH sticker will be driven with a high
degree of discipline.
fact that the Brazilians regard traffic
lights as a kind of roadside decoration suggests
that ____.
A. traffic lights are part of street scenery
B. they simply ignore traffic lightsD. there are very few traffic lights
79. The second and third paragraphs focus on
the difference between ____.
A. the Atlantic Ocean and other oceans
B. English drivers and American drivers
C. European drivers and American drivers
D. European drivers and South American
drivers
phrase “anticipate the green light〞(Line
1, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to ____.
A. wait for the green light to be on
B. forbid others to move before the green light
C. move off before the green light is on
D. follow others when the green light is on
C. they want to put them at roadsides

Dear Sir,
Your shipment of twelve thousand “Smart〞watches was received by our company
this morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the
serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our instructions with regard

Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued

The second complaint concerns the mismatch in colour between the watches we
ordered and those delivered.
As a result of the above problems, therefore, we feel that the most suitable course
of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory. We
look forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,

Money is accepted across the world as payment
for goods or services. People use money to buy
food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In
the past, many different things were used as
money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged
shells for goods. The Chinese used cloth and
knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were
used. Even today, some people in Africa are still
paid in salt. Coins were first invented by the
Chinese. Originally, they were round pieces of
metal with a hole in the center, so that a piece of
string could keep them together. This made
doing business much easier, but people still
found coins inconvenient to carry when they
wanted to buy something expensive. To solve
this problem, the Chinese again came up with
the solution. They began to use paper money for
coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the
world.
