- Part One Reading Comprehension (10%)Directions: In this part there is one passage followed by five questions. You are required to select the best choice for each question from a list of choices marked by capital letters following the question and fill in the blank with the corresponding LETTER. It would be difficult to find someone who is in favor of drunk driving. Similarly no one would jump on the bandwagon urging more child abuse. Some activities are considered repulsive and totally unacceptable to almost everyone. Drunk driving, unlike child abuse, however, is a crime that many Americans not only commit more than once in their lives, but also freely discuss among their friends and fellow workers.If someone reads about a co-employee or neighbor being arrested for drunk driving, usually little is made of it; many even treat the occurrence in a humorous fashion. Hale and Hardy Fellows comfort the criminal with their own tales of close encounters with the law. So “better luck next time” is the casual warning of the drunk driver's comrades. “Next time” is mentioned so matter-of-factly that everyone knows that these drunk drivers do not realize that “next time” might end in a crippling accident, an innocent bystander's death, enormous heartache, anguish, and ultimately remorse. But then it's too late. By then the drunk driver will have done the worst, and all the merriment of the night's imbibing fades quickly in the presence of grief at the scene of an accident.Of course, the comrades are shocked, even frightened momentarily. Couldn't the perpetrator of one of America's controlled crimes just as easily have been one of them? Maybe someone's “next time” might be the “last time”.1. The biggest difference between drunk driving and child abuse is ________. A: one is a serious crime, and the other one is not B: one crime is treated lightly by many, and the other is not C: one is tightly controlled, and the other is not D: one destroys the family unit, and the other does not
