Part II Reading Comprehension
Passage 1 　　To understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand "the point". Americans mention it often："Let's get right to the point", "My point is ...","What's the point of all this?" 　　The "point" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people's thinking, writing, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to "make their points clear", meaning that they are supposed to write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 People from many other cultures have different ideas about "the point". Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating "the point" clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, "I don't think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit", a Japanese might say, "Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on." Americans value a person who "gets right to the point". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 　　The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity（模糊）. The precision（精确）and directness Americans associate with "the point" cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 11. By “the point”, Americans mean _____. A. the idea or information in their mind B. the most important idea or information C. what they think, write and speak D. what they wish to express Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 12. Compared with people from many other cultures, Americans are ____. direct and honest B. clear and talkative C. impolite and rude D. traditional and silent Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 13. A typical American seems to be ________ to a typical Japanese. A. sensitive and rude B. insensitive but not rude C. sensitive instead of rude D. insensitive and even rude Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 14. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? You are expected to state your idea clearly when speaking to an American. B. Telling stories to express their ideas is a traditional way of Africans. C. Japanese often imply their disapproval with polite words. D. Chinese and Japanese languages are hard to understand because they are not clear. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 1 15. A conclusion can be made that _______. A. Americans and Africans cannot communicate satisfactorily B. Africans and Japanese cannot communicate satisfactorily C. Misunderstanding may arise when Americans communicate with Chinese D. Chinese and Japanese will certainly get on well with each other Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 　　Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation（动机）. This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivation can come from two sources: from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case, motivation comes from your hopes and expectations, from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual, and various. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 　　If you have not already done so, you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies, and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 　　Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation：from outside. In education the most obvious kind of outside motivation is grades. For many students, course grades are an immediate, short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for examinations and grades, but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day, but they are only small, artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 　　A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation；that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement, it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study；more important is how well you study. Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 16. Inside motivation comes from______. A. your need and desire B. your hopes and expectations C. your desire to do something or to be someone D. both B and C Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 17. Study purposes _________. A. are different from person to person B. are personal inner desires C. share some common points D. should be carefully made Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 18. If you haven’t set a goal in your studies, _________. A. you will most probably become a failure B. you will never be a good student C. you may lose direction and lack motivation D. you won’t have good study habits Part II Reading Comprehension

Passage 2 19. According to the passage, why are examinations and grades necessary in education? A. Because they can make the difference between success and failure B. Because they can motivate many students to study harder. C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies. D. Because they are small, artificial steps to an ultimate goal. Part II Reading Comprehension
