It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit (圈), but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective (各自的) examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn't-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car. I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.1. On their way to the test center, Stan tried to comfort the author _______.A. but it made the author's heart sink deeperB. but the words produced no effectC. so that the author could drive to the center with no fearsD. so that they could prepare for all the traps2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Six learners would be tested at the same time.B. The learners were tested in the presence of their instructors.C. None of the six learners passed the test in the end.D. The instructors were as nervous as the learners.3. When the author was sitting in the waiting room, he was quite _______.A. upsetB. nervousC. frightenedD. relaxed4. When it was his turn to take the test, the author went to his car with _______.A. firm confidenceB. mixed emotionsC. increased nervousnessD. perfect calmness5. The passage is mainly about _______.A. the influence of bad weather upon a test takerB. the feelings of a learner before his driving testC. the preparations before a driving testD. an unforgettable dayPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic (电子的) mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great film, perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.6. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet7. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him8. According to the writer, e-mail has a clear advantage over the telephone because e-mail helpsone _______.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the telephoneD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the telephone9. The passage discussed all the following elements of e-mail EXCEPT _______.A. its costB. the way of writingC. the saving of timeD. its easy and convenient use10. The best subject for this passage is ________.A. Computers: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: A New Tool to Make FriendsC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD. Internet: A Convenient Tool for CommunicationPassage 3Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time for which the eyes stop—the duration of the fixation—varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.11. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose in readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness12. The author may believe that reading ______.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. demands a deeply-participating mindC. requires a reader to see words more quicklyD. demands more mind than eyes13. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to seewords and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph? ______A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and tocomprehend words.C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.14. Which of the following is NOT true? ______A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.15. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________.A. criticalB. neutralC. pessimisticD. optimisticPassage4Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings —battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.16. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means _______.A. go to the newspaper stand and buyB. send their own news stories toC. agree to buy for a specific period of timeD. become faithful readers of17. The habit of reading newspapers is _______.A. widespreadB. found among a few familiesC. not popularD. uncommon18. Before the time of the newspaper, _______.A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB. few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD. news was passed from one person to another19. The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is _______.A. wastedB. not muchC. well spentD. of no use to anyone20. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.B. Newspaper advertisements turn people's attention away from their products.C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.Passage 5There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don’t live in such wealth and comfort. P eople treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren’t any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.21. According to the passage, in most countries _______________.A. animals are in a worse position than human beingsB. people treat their pets like members of their familiesC. there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsD. pets such as dogs and cats are very popular22.

In your opinion, which of the following sentences is probably true?A. Dogs and cats like to wear expensive clothing.B. Many people visit the dog restaurant in France.C. In some cases, animals have better food and clothing than people.D. People in every part of the world like to buy fine clothing for their pets.25. The main idea of this reading passage is _______________.A. Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB. A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC. It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsD. People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldPassage 6Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem．One of these，for example，was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci（达·芬奇）．In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly．But they were never built．Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far．Instead，he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body．The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it？The balloon was made of cloth and paper．In September of that year，the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon．They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky．The passengers were a sheep and a chicken．We do not know how they felt about the trip．But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely．Two months later，two men did the same thing．They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind．Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight kilometers．26. Leonardo da Vinci ______ .A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of birdsD. made designs for flying machine27. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman ______ .A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken featherC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird28. In fact，the Englishman who tried to fly ______ .A. lost his lifeB. flew only 8minutesC. got badly woundedD. succeeded in flying29. The very first air passengers in the balloon were ______.A. two animalsB. two FrenchmenC. the King and the QueenD. the Montgolfiers30. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris？______A. In December 1783.B. In September 1783.C. In November 1783.D. In the seventeenth century.Passage 7Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn’t afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company. However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay. At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer. Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs. The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time. Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away. In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands. On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.31. Many workers would like to ___________.A. dream of long holidays at homeB. spend a long time in unusual placesC. buy a holiday away from homeD. have a long holiday after many years32. One company____________.A. gives money to employees over 25 yearsB. lends staff money to go on holidaysC. allows long holidays to certain staffD. arranges long holidays for old employees33. Most of the employees in the scheme ____________.A. take foreign tripsB. develop their hobbiesC. take up photographyD. enjoy leisure activities34. The directors feel that _____________.A. the staff get a lot of pleasures from the schemeB. older staff are very enthusiastic about holidaysC. the scheme is more expensive than they expectedD. the scheme is beneficial to staff relations35. One of the problems is that ________________.A. it is difficult to fill a temporary jobB. some employees are afraid of their colleaguesC. it is difficult for some people to re-adjust to the old routine after a long breakD. employees don’t feel secure when they are awayPassage 8Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night? You couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep — they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the cerebral cortex — the part of the brain where thinking takes place — may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you concentrate harder, you cannot do better.”This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.36. According to the passage, the confusion of your mind is possibly due to _____.A. the lack of sleepB. the difficult questionC. the requirement of your creative thinkingD. the requirement of your original thinking37. Tired people can do everything EXCEPT_____.A. doing simple additionB. doing okay on tests of routine thinkingC. answering the creative question wellD. telling other people their names38. The purpose for Dr. Home to offer a lot of money to the sleepy students is to _____.A. help them repair their brainsB. stimulate their interests of the questionC. buy some medicine which can make them excitingD. encourage them to do better39. Who might be better instructed in their work after reading this passage?A. Children.B. Nurses.C. Students.D. Businessmen.40. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. a foolish man with good sleep may answer creative question wellB. a pilot should fly the aircraft after having good sleepC. enough sleep is good for your emergency decisionsD. both B and CPassage 9Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules and learning some vocabulary words — although those are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring (学到) a language is learning a skill, not a body of information. It’s as much like learning to swim or ride a bike as it is like learning about the Second World War. That is, you must not only understand the ideas and have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed to using that information in physical activity: In this case, the physical activity is speaking, listening, writing and reading.You need, then, not only to learn and understand, but also to practice!Here are a few suggestions on effective practice/study techniques.1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Do go to the lab and work on the tapes. Study with a friend, and, thus, participate in speaking and listening. Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced with your own lips.2. Study day-by-day. You cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute. You may be able to “learn” vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to use them in sentences.3. Sometimes go back and review “old”topics and vocabulary. Language learning is cumulative (累积的). You learn new skills on the basis of old ones. The more you “recycle”familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to take in new ones.4. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (害羞) can be a strong barrier to learning a language. Perhaps part of the reason small children readily learn languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.41. The first paragraph of the passage has been written to lay stress on the fact that______.A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learningB. learning to swim is quite similar to learning about the Second World WarC. understanding the ideas is more important than anything elseD. language learning is a process of acquiring different language skills42. One of the major benefits of studying with a friend is that ________ .A. it makes one talk in a particular languageB. it builds the friendship between two friendsC. friends can share tapes or other learning materialsD. one studies better in with a friend43. Cramming is no good while learning a language because _________.A. it is of little use to study without a clear purposeB. nothing can be learned through crammingC. anything learned that way can hardly be put into useD. one may not find enough time to use at the last minute44. The purpose of reviewing old topics is __________.A. to build up a good basis for new skillsB. to enjoy the good ideas contained in themC. to throw away the old, useless informationD. to avoid making mistakes in the future45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Why Children Are Able to Learn a Language Better than Grown-upsB. A Few Suggestions on Studying a Foreign LanguageC. Why Learning a Foreign Language Is More Difficult than Anything ElseD. An Introduction to Language Teaching and LearningPassage 10Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourists attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.46. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes beforethis passage?A. Support facilities are highly necessary.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.。

Reading Comprehension(30%)Passage 1The treatment of the elderly can be further understood by distinguishing between nuclear and extended family structures. In the United States the nuclear family, which consists of the father, the mother, and the children, is considered "the family". The extended family, common in other cultures, includes grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and in-laws. The distinction between the nuclear and extended family is important because it suggests the extent of family ties and obligations. In extended families the children and parents have strong ties and obligations to relatives. It is common in these families to support older family members, to have intensive contact with relatives, and to establish communal housing.The American nuclear family usually has its own separate residence and is economically independent of other family members. Relatives are still considered "family" but are often outside the basic obligations that people have to their immediate families. When couples marry, they are expected to live independently of their parents and become "heads of households" when they have children. It is not unusual in times of financial need for nuclear family members to borrow money from a bank rather than from relatives. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, then, are not directly involved in the same way as they would be in an extended family structure.1. The author distinguishes between nuclear and extended families because __________.A) the distinction enables the reader to understand the importance of a familyB) the distinction shows which kind of family is betterC) the distinction suggests the extent of family ties and obligationsD) the author is interested in nuclear families2. The phrase "immediate family" refers to the __________.A) mother, father, brothers and sistersB) family of one's spouseC) family members who help each other when neededD) family which is close to another3. The word "communal" in the last sentence of the first paragraph is nearest in meaning to __A) shared by father and motherB) shared by childrenC) shared by brothers and sistersD) shared by an extended family4. The word "tie" most probably means __________.A) neck tieB) family membersC) relationshipD) rope5. Which would be the best title for this passage?A) Advantage of Nuclear Family.B) Disadvantages of Extended Family.C) Treatment of the Old.D) Nuclear Family and Extended Family.Passage 2Sleep is part of your daily activity cycle, but there are several different types or stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles.If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle will go something like this: When you first drift off into sleep your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too. This is called Stage 1 sleep.For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be.Then, about 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is Stage 4 sleep.You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about 80 minutes after you fall into sleep your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves.
