PART IV READING COMPREHENSION<p>  In this section there are five passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer marked A, B, C and D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.</p><p>  TEXT A The Olympic Games originated in 776 B.C. in Olympia, a small town in Greece. Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope. Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the God Zeus. The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges. There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors. They were banned in 394 A.D. by Emperor Theodosius, after they became professional circuses and carnivals.  The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete. The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch. In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jesse Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens fro the feat of having won four gold medals. In the 1972 Munich games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists. The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations; in addition, Taiwan withdrew. In 1980, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games. The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.</p><p>  66. According to the passage, the first Olympic games were held _____.</p><p>  A) as a religious festival</p><p>  B) for political reasons</p><p>  C) as an international competition</p><p>  D) as a professional athletes' competition</p><p>  67. From the passage, we can infer that Hitler's refusal to congratulate Jesse Owens was an indication of _____.</p><p>  A) jealousy</p><p>  B) national pride</p><p>  C) racial discrimination</p><p>  D) political prejudice</p><p>  68. The feelings of those athletes whose countries boycotted the 1980 Games could best be described as _____.</p><p>  A) diffident</p><p>  B) angry</p><p>  C) very happy</p><p>  D) disappointed</p><p>  TEXT B The car industry suffered another setback yesterday when Lucas Electrical Company announced that many of its 12,000 workers at 15 factories in the West Midlands would be going on short time. It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month. "There will be a requirement for some short-time working in selected product areas and the final details will be organized on a site-by-site basis," a Lucas spokesman said in Birmingham. The factories cover an area from Telford, Shropshire, to Solihull in the West Midlands. Many of those involved are women and the products include alternators, batteries and headlamps. For many families the wife has been the sole earner in recent months. The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the regions rapidly declining economy. The company spokesman said that not all the 12,000 would be affected; about 20 percent of the staff would not be affected at all. The announcement comes after BLs production cuts in the Austin-Rover division with a two-week extended holiday for 8,000 workers because of the sluggish market. Dunlop in Birmingham has made a similar decision. Lucas said that it was also because of reductions in the schedules of other customers in the car industry. It was emphasized that it was temporary and its duration would depend on how many cars were sold in the coming months.</p><p>  69. According to the passage, we learn the bad news for the car industry from _____.</p><p>  A) the announcement of production cuts by the Austin-Rover</p><p>  B) the report of the sluggish market for the car industry</p><p>  C) the announcement of short-time working by Lucas</p><p>  D) the reductions in the schedules of some customers</p><p>  70. Which of the following is true about the bad news?</p><p>  A) Workers would work a five-day week.</p><p>  B) Women would have to take early retirement.</p><p>  C) 8,000 workers would have fewer paid holidays than before.</p><p>  D) It will result in an increase of the decline of the area's economy.</p><p>  71. Which of the following is not produced by the West Midlands factories?</p><p>  A) Batteries.</p><p>  B) Horns.</p><p>  C) Headlamps.</p><p>  D) Alternators.</p><p>  72. According to the passage, how many workers would not be affected by the bad news?</p><p>  A) About 2,400.</p><p>  B) About 5,000.</p><p>  C) About 8,000.</p><p>  D) About 12,000.</p><p>  TEXT C George had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time. Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it —— that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty." "Well, George," Jim answered, "as I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"</p><p>  73. We are told that George expected Jim to help _____.</p><p>  A) prove him innocent</p><p>  B) him turn over a new leaf</p><p>  C) lighten his punishment</p><p>  D) him escape from prison</p><p>  74. Which of the following is true about Jim?</p><p>  A) He covered up George's guilt.</p><p>  B) He persuaded the jury to set George free.</p><p>  C) He told the jury that George was indeed guilty.</p><p>  D) He recommended severe punishment to give George a lesson.</p><p>  75. The passage suggests that _____.</p><p>  A) it was due to Jim that George was found guilty</p><p>  B) Jim did not do exactly what George asked him to do</p><p>  C) Jim asked his colleagues to recommend mercy</p><p>  D) Jim persuaded the jury to lighten George's punishment</p><p>  TEXT D Seoul, once a city for kings, can now claim to be a city for commuters. The third nation in the Orient to develop an underground rapid-transit system, Korea opened its first line in 1974. After 12 years of continuing construction, Seoul had finally completed the rest of its extensive subway system, capable of serving 5 million commuters a day. The 73-mile-long system, the worlds seventh largest, is expected to alleviated the acute daily traffic congestion downtown. For an estimated 2.7 billion, the city has built one of the most modern subways in the world, replete with air-conditioning, high-tech ticket machines and escalators to deep-level stations. The subway stops, bucking an international tradition of dull concrete walls, are attractions themselves: many are lined with shopping arcades, others sponsor art exhibits and several have been blasted out of granite and left in their natural state, creating an eerie, cavelike effect. The subway is a long-term solution to transit problems in a city that is bursting at the seams with 9.5 million people. It is designed to encourage the growth of satellite cities along the lines that run outside the city proper. Efficiency, safety and economy are the catchwords of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation, which handled construction and now manages the four lines. But traditional concern for cleanliness adds to the popularity of this rapid mode of underground transportation. Recently 20 young couples chose the subway as the site for their wedding ceremonies, proof that the system is heralding a new age of modern living for the inhabitants of the nations capital.</p><p>  76. According to the passage, how many cities in the world have subway systems larger than that in Seoul, Korea?</p><p>  A) None.</p><p>  B) Three.</p><p>  C) Six.</p><p>  D) Seven.</p><p>  77. Why do some young couples choose the subway as the site for their wedding ceremonies?</p><p>  A) It is cleaner than places on the ground.</p><p>  B) It is symbol of modern living.</p><p>  C) It is the world's seventh largest subway.</p><p>  D) It is built in the nation's capital.</p><p>  TEXT E Going on computer may be the toughest job a remodeling contractor ever does. In order to make a conversion within a year, a company will need to make a major shakeup. This does not mean it will take a year to start using the computer for one function such as estimating, accounting, or word processing. The total conversion process will not be accomplished in a short period with little effort. A contractor in Indiana recently said he wished someone had warned him about how tough it was going to be. With an annual volume of more than 500,000 and a good staff in place he still had fear. For effective use of the computer in a remodeling business, a complete change in methods of doing business usually is required. All management staff must get involved. Changes may include pre-selecting and standardizing products and systems, developing specifications, changing the estimating system, and requiring more detailed information on time card. The list goes on and on. Without the support and active leadership of top management, this process, in all likelihood, will be fought by employees and will fail. It is true that a computer can save money by stepping up the speed of estimating and making job costing, bookkeeping, and accounting more efficient. word processing will certainly reduce time in typing contracts, writing letters, and so on. Still, most companies do not save money using the computer. Once they have mastered the basic computer operation, they become so enthralled with its ability to do other things they never considered when it was purchased. The computer business is changing so fast that a company on computer will want to spend money on the latest hardware, newest software, and so on. that is the bad news. The good news is that the computer simply revolutionizes the companys ability to manage and innovate. The change in management methods, the ability to use numbers, and other new capabilities provide greater control over the company and allow it to grow and make more money.</p><p>  78. According to the passage, a complete conversion can take _____.</p><p>  A) several months</p><p>  B) about a year</p><p>  C) half a year</p><p>  D) several years</p><p>  79. Without the support and leadership of management, the change to computerization will probably _____.</p><p>  A) take twice as long</p><p>  B) cost a great deal</p><p>  C) be unsuccessful</p><p>  D) end up losing money</p><p>  80. The author seems to feel that most companies _____.</p><p>  A) will be on computers within five years</p><p>  B) lose money whenever the computers go down</p><p>  C) have trouble making the conversion to computers</p><p>  D) do not save money by using the computer</p>
