第4题: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 less than 10 words. Have you ever been asked to take a polygraph test for a job?A polygraph,also called a lie detector,is a device that is used to find out if someone is telling a lie.It is based on the belief that lying causes certain physical reactions.These reactions,which include a change in blood pressure and pulse rate,are measured by the polygraph. Lie detector tests are often used in court and in the workplace.However,a law th at went effect in December 1988 limits the ways that employers can use these tests.Employers can no longer use them to screen(审查) people who are applying for jobs.The only exception is for those who want government jobs as security guards or drug handlers.Also,managers can no longer ask workers to take such tests unless there is reasonable suspicion that the worker has stolen or damaged property.This will curb tests for suspected offenses,such as drug use or sexual harassm ent,and for workers who were merely in the area of a theft.Bosses who request lie detector tests will have to tell workers why they are suspected of an offense. Also,they may not ask questions that degrade workers,such as questions about their sex lives. In any case,according to the new law,the test is now voluntary:You can't be fired for refusing to take it.If you have been forced to take a polygraph test,or if you are not being given a promotion because you have refused to take the test, you can sue the company or file a complaint with the Department of Labor.The Department of Labor can fine employers up to $10,000. Questions: 71. What is the passage mainly about? 72. How does the polygraph work? 73. The law of December,1988 prohibits employers from examing people who apply for jobs except ____ 74. Nowadays the bosses can ask the workers to take the polygraph tests only under the condition that____ 75. Under the new law,if a boss forces his worker to take a polygraph test,w hat punishment will he get? |

第7、8、9、10、11题:Ironically,in the United States,a country of immigrants,prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems.There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each succeeding group.As each group became more financially successful,and more powerful,they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society.Prejudice and discrimination are part of our history,however,this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans. Blacks had distinct disadvantages.For the most part,they came to the “land of opportunity”as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions.Unlike most European immigrants,blacks did not have the protection of a support group;sometimes slaveowners separated members of the same family. They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color.It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture.Even after they became free people,they still experienced discrimination in employment,housing,education,and even in public facilities,such as restroom. 26. Prejudice and discrimination____. A.were gone B.have been existing in the American society C.don't exclude new immigrants from participation in the society D.are mainly caused by the slavery 27. Established and succeeding immigrants____. A.were reluctant to help newcomers to adapt to the new surroundings B.were willing to support newcomers financially C.were great helpers of slaves and Indians D.were treated unequally by American Indians 28. One of the reasons why black Americans could not easily mix in American society is____. A.that most Americans are immigrants B.due to their skin color C.that they speak their language differently from Americans D.that they were free to keep their heritage 29. The author specifically mentions that____. A.black Americans are most prejudicially treated in the U.S. B.discrimination in the South was not more obvious than in the North C.the situation of blacks is almost the same today as it was in the 1930s D. after blacks became free people they didn't experience discrimination in employment and public facilities 30.
