Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points: 2×20)
Direction: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each
of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D You are expected to make the best choice.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made
illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a
disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half
of the alphabet.
It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA Cars has a big advantage over Zodiac Cars
when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam
Abbott has in life over Zoe Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the
alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A
and K.
Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively;
and 26 of George Bush’s predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the
alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of
the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chrétien and
Koizumi). The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to
the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world’s five
richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).
Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the
alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school,
teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So
short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions
posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have
had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention,
as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.
The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards
first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job
interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up
alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.
41. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?
A) A kind of overlooked inequality. B) A type of conspicuous bias.
C) A type of personal prejudice. D) A kind of brand discrimination.
