There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world.
But 36 a few of them are very 37 . English is one of these. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the U.S.A, but in other parts of the world. About 200 million speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a 38 language. Many millions are 39 to do so.
Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different 40 . Have you ever 41 the ads of this kind in the newspapers or magazines?
“Learn English in six months , or your 42 back …” “Easy and funny? Our records and tapes 43 you master your English in a month. 44 the first day your 45 will be excellent. Just send…” Of course, it never 46 quite like this.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should 47 that we all learned our own language well when we were 48 . If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 49 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, and 50 in it all the time, just imagine how much 51 that gets!
So it is 52 to say that learning English is easy, because a good command of English 53 upon a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and 54 much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will 55 . But they cannot do the student’s work for him.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Let Them Watch It
One hot night, when our new baby wouldn’t sleep, I tried everything I could think of : a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable (手提的) TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the screen. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi’s forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby’s behavior a metaphor(暗喻) for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to
him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watching TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it! If television is much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Le t them watch all they want!”
56. Why did the author bring a TV set into his son’s room?
A. To make his son stop crying.
B. To spend the night by watching TV programs.
C. To leave it to his son.
D. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.
57. The baby’s reaction(反应) to the TV program was __________.
A. unexpected
B. excited
C. terrible
D. calm

A.They prefer reading to watching TV.
B.They like watching TV only after school.
C.They would rather watch TV than read books.

Look closely at the palms of your hands and fingertips. See all the tiny lines? Each of us is born with a unique set of prints, but it may surprise you to learn why we have them. Palm-lines are not for fortune-tellers to figure out how long we will live, nor are fingerprints there to make a policeman’s job easier. In fact, the lines and loops that decorate our hands and feet are an evolutionary gift from nature, and they serve two important functions.
Our prints are made of raised and lowered skin. The raised areas function somewhat like the tread(纹) of car tires or the rubber soles of our running shoes. When we touch something that is wet, water moves from these “hills” into the “valleys’, which means some surfaces on our skin remain relatively dry. This is useful, for it allows us to better grip the things we want to hold.
Our prints help us hold on, but they also have a secondary function: protection. The raised areas serve as buffers(缓冲物) between our skin and an object, keeping us from getting hurt every time we grip the hard surface of a bottle or a baseball bat. This is the same reason why, when we walk too far or wear uncomfortable shoes, we get blisters on the soft skin of our ankles, but never on our heels, like our palms and fingers, have prints to protect them.
It is the random(任意的) flow of fluids inside our mothers wombs that causes these useful patterns to form on the surface of our hands and feet. Because they are formed
rando mly, each person’s prints are unique, which makes prints accidentally useful as a means of distinguishing between people. Even identical twins have different prints, which means that no mistake can be made in determining who did a crime, provided fingerprints or toe prints were left at the scene.
68. Where can’t you find the tiny lines?
A. Palms.
B. Fingerprints.
C. Heels.
D. Ankles.
69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.The tiny lines are the results of evolution.
B.From o ne’s fingerprints, we can guess his character.
C.Different people have different prints in their fingertips.
D.The prints play an important role in our life.
70. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Fingertips can help us hold on to things better.
B.There are no prints on our heels.
C.The prints can make our palm dry.
D.Prints can protect our skin from getting hurt.
71. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Why Do We Have Prints
B. The Formation of Prints
C. The Importance of Prints
D. The Function of Prints

Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown(充分发展的). Quite the opposite, just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing is, and the more rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe(抄写员) to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letters writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly
called on to put words to papers. I would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects , or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into letter-to-be-read files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
72. In this message, good writing is compared to fine food because ______________.
A. both are enjoyable
B. both are hard to learn
C. both are necessary to life
D. both take a long time to prepare
73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Writing skills are less important than experience.
B. A good writer should have his own way of writing.
C. A good writer should learn to write all kinds of articles.
D.The more efforts one makes, the more money one can earn.
74. The author thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skills is _________.
A. to earn our living
B. to attract others to read
C. to do daily reports easily
D. to become good secretaries
75. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ____________.
A. comment and blame
B. introduce and describe
C. explain and persuade
D. interest and inform

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the arguments on whether students of Senior Three should go in for sports or not.
More than half of the students think we should exercise every day because health is the most important. You can do nothing without it. Sports and exercise can make us strong and energetic.
On the other hand, 45% of us believe it a waste of time to take exercise. Also, it’s very tiring. After having sports, we are too excited to get down to our study. We may even get hurt in sports.
And I think it’s true that we should devote ourselves to the lessons, but sports make our brains relaxed and enable us to have a sound sleep every night. The efficiency of revision will surely be improved.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
