Part I: Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passage(s) carefully and answer the multiple-choice questions.Text 1Everyone talks about the joys of childhood. What about its pains? How many of us suffered during those "happiest days of our life" - our schooldays? Few people would dare to say that theirs were really as wonderful as these words make out. School is two things. It is the child's first taste of living away from home, the place where he must stand on his own two feet, and where he must stand up for himself. And it is the place where he gains the knowledge that is to prepare him for life on the outside, for the grown-up world of jobs, for the running of a house and for what to do in one's spare time.But the question of what children learn, and how they should learn, is discussed all the time. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion (机械模仿别人的方式), which was good enough for our grandparents. Some scientists have joined in the discussion to argue that we must understand the needs of children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as such.Well, you may say, this is as it should be, and is a good idea. But think further. What happens? "Education" becomes the job of scientists, not of teachers. What happens then? Teachers worry too much about other things instead of the subjects themselves. If a child doesn't like a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his / her fault, not the child's. So teachers worry whether history should be taught to young modern children. And do they dare to tell stories about cruel wars? Or will this make the children themselves cruel? Can they tell their classes about children of different races (种族), or will this encourage problems between races?You see, you can go too far. Under the influence of (在……的影响下) experts in education, who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas, teachers aretrying out their "modern methods" one after another, so that the poor children do not know what's best to do. Often even the teachers cannot understand these modern methods, let alone the children; even more often, the modern methods prevent most children from learning anything.1. I n this text, "the happiest days of our life" refers to ____________.A. the joys of adult lifeB. the days when we were school childrenC. the days when many of us sufferedD. the pains of childhood2. According to the writer, a school is a place where children ____________.A. want to live away from homeB. learn to walkC. are equipped to go into the adult worldD. spend their spare time3. The learning of lessons parrot-fashion is ____________.A. being discussed by scientistsB. no longer popularC. good to our grandparentsD. still important to children4. The writer thinks that the job of a teacher is ____________.A. mainly to teach the school subjectsB. to respect the children as adultsC. to tell stories about cruel warsD. to teach children about different races5. It seems that the writer of the text ____________.A. agrees with experts in education regarding the use of "modern methods"B. does not think that children from poor families can become the best pupilsC. is not happy with the "modern methods"D. thinks that experts in education have useful ideas for educating childrenText 2Newspapers, along with reporting the news, educate, entertain (娱乐), and give opinions. An important way of reading a large, big-city newspaper is to put it into different sections. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, ads? Does your paper have other sections?News stories give facts, not the reporter's opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without puttingthe writers' names on.You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines (新闻标题) to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently.6. A good way to read a newspaper is ______________.A. to read it section by sectionB. to cut the paper into many piecesC. to find separate sections and read according to your needsD. to know what the newspaper is made up of7.

T he writer's suggestion to us is that ______________.A. we should read more about the news of present timeB. we should understand more about the newspaperC. we should read one newspaper frequentlyD. we should read the newspaper for several daysText 3As a student, I usually take five courses every term. It is an average class load for an American student. However, for a foreign student, it is not necessarily easy. Professors require a lot of reading outside of class and give various kinds of homework. I have to study very hard every day. I have free time only on weekends, when I also have to do shopping and wash clothes. This weekend is very exciting for me because I have a date. I have invited Jessie to go to a movie. This reminds me of a date that I had with an American woman.Once I went to a party with some friends. People were drinking and dancing. Since I hadn't danced before, I stayed near the wall and drank beer. I tried to talk to people, but it was not easy because of the loud music. Finally I plucked up the courage (鼓起勇气) to ask the woman next to me to dance, and she accepted. Her name was Mary, and before I left the party, I got her phone number.Three days later, I called her and asked her to go to a play at the university theater. She sounded delighted, and agreed to go with me. As I was waiting, she came down from her room. To my great surprise, she asked me if it was OK if her boy friend came, too. I had to tell her that I had two tickets only.After the play, we stopped by a coffee shop and talked about the play. I didn't understand it very well, so she explained it to me. She seemed pretty quiet, though, and I realized that she had been thinking of her boy friend all that time.After that, I became very careful with my dates with American girls. I have learned that American dating customs are not necessarily comfortable for Chinese students because they are different from Chinese customs. However, they are an important part of social life in American universities, so it is useful to understand them.11. F ive courses every term is easy for ____________.A. an American studentB. a Chinese studentC. a foreign studentD. an average class of students12.

They may choose to live in a wooden house. They say this kind of houses are easy to build and warm in winter. Others like to live in houses of the future. They may live in a house which gets its energy (能量) from the sun.A few other people like to live in houses that have characteristics （特征）of both the past and future. These people may live in a house under the ground. Many people think underground （地面下的）houses are cold and dark, but that is not true. These houses have special windows in the roof or large windows on one side. These windows give the houses a lot of light.The idea of underground houses is very old. People in the past lived in underground houses and underground cities in China, Japan, South Korea (韩国), and Canada (加拿大). Some countries also build underground factories and store-houses （仓库）to hold things.In the United States, more people are beginning to build underground houses. Underground houses save open land. When houses are underground, there is more land for parks, gardens and sport fields. Underground houses also save energy. They use only a little energy to stay warm or cool.Owners of these houses like them. John Bonard is an architect (建筑师). He built an underground house in New York. His wife, Barbara, is an outdoor (室外型的) person, but she likes her underground home. "It's perfect. I love it," she says.More and more people in the United States like the idea of building homes underground. There are already underground offices, schools and department stores. Perhaps in the future whole cities will be underground. Who knows?16. One example of houses of the past is ____________ houses.A. warmB. woodenC. sunnyD. cold17.

They studied the information on the sign and decided which bus to take. A few minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly there was a loud cry behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at the foreigners. The bus driver came rushing down to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked surprised. No one had told them about the British custom of standing in a line for a bus so that the first person that arrived at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the customs of the people living there. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India (印度) would do well to remember that people there consider it not polite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another and think that he is disagreeing (表示不同意). But in many parts of India a turning movement of the head is to say "yes" or to accept. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria (保加利亚) may leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to show "yes", and a nod means "no". In many countries, you will find at a meal that your drinking cups are quickly refilled (再装满) as soon as you drink up. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand (泰国), however, could cause you trouble.21. Three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop to ____________.A. study the information on the signB. go to EnglandC. take a bus somewhereD. rush onto the bus22. S omeone shouted at the foreigners because ____________.A. they were not polite enough to that personB. they were foreignersC. they didn't understand the languageD. they didn't stand in the line to get on the bus23. I f you go to another country, you will probably be surprised at ___________.A. the different customs of that countryB. the different people living thereC. the food you eatD. the language spoken there24. I n Bulgaria, if you nod your head when given a drink, you ___________.A. will become even more thirstyB. will be given a drinkC. are saying "yes"D. are probably not going to be given the drink25. In many countries, if you don't want to drink any more, you should ____________.A. take the glass awayB. hold up the glassC. cover the top of the glass with your handD. fill the glass with a little more drinkText 6Walt Disney died in 1966, but his work and his dreams did not die. A new generation of children watched his cartoon (卡通) movies such as "Snow White" and even his old Mickey Mouse (米老鼠) cartoons. These are the same Disney productions the parents and grandparents of these children enjoyed. Millions of people also came to the United States to enjoy Disneyland (迪斯尼乐园) in California. But although Disney's work was world-famous, in many ways Walt Disney was an ordinary man. He was born in Chicago and had a rather ordinary childhood. His family was not rich or successful. In fact, his father failed in business many times, and Walt learned to accept failure as part of his life.He did not mind hard work, and he did not give up easily. One summer Walt wanted ajob at the post office, but they told him he was too young. He went home, drew some lines on his face, and put on his father's jacket and hat. Then he went back to the same office and told them he was 18. They gave him the job.Later in his life, Disney had a dream. He wanted to build a new kind of amusement (娱乐) park. It would be clean and beautiful. There would be rides for children and nice restaurants for adults. It would be fun for people of all ages. Disney drew a plan for this park. It was called Disneyland. Engineers told him it was an impossible dream. His family and friends told him it was crazy, but Disney did not give up his idea. In 1955, Disneyland opened its gates to the public and became the most successful amusement park in the United States.26.
