SECTION READING (40 points) Part A Reading Comprehension (15 items, 2 points for each item) Directions In this part of the test, you will read three passages. For each passage there are five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage youve just read. Blacken the letter corresponding to your answer on the Answer Sheet.Text AEight hours sleep is traditionally regarded as healthythough many of us need less, and some more. What matters is how you feel, and what you do with the other sixteen hours of the day.We are all built slightly differently, so there is no reason why our sleep requirements should be the same. If, for example, you are the sort of person who goes running around getting exhausted, then you are going to need more rest, but not necessarily more sleep.Similarly, if you sleep badly, wake tense, and worry throughout the dayand theres nothing more tiring than tensionthen further long hours lying awake wont help.Drugged sleep is not the long-term answer either. Sleeping pills merely slow your body down. Usually they let you drop off, though if you take them for more than six weeks, then the actual chemical effect disappears. The only real solution is turning off the internal machinery. Work at creating your own relaxing routine, get hold of the things that annoy you most and try to identify them.What is sleep all about? The simplest way to find out what sleep is for is to do without it for a while and see what happens. The brain starts going gently crazy if deprived of sleep for two or three days. It simply stops working in a sensible fashion.Why does sleep sometimes not come when it should? Imagine, the days when our ancestors lived in the jungle. Those who fell asleep too easily risked being eaten up. It certainly paid to keep half-awake, ready for action if danger arrived. The trouble is we are still doing it even though there is no longer any danger. We react as if there are threats to our existence, when all we want to do is fall asleep.Anger and other signs of stress clearly interfere with calm sleep, just as they do with calm waking. Before trying to sleep, it is always better to get your angry feelings out into the open, rather than push them to the back of your mind. As you fall asleep, the mind is less lively and allows those feelings to come back again, where they dance around and keep you awake.I recommend trying to get more control of reality. Then your dreams will be sweeter and your sleep more refreshing.26. The time our sleep takes depends on our _.A. working hoursB. health conditionsC. living surroundingsD. feelings and daily activities27. The best way to get rid of tiredness after exercise is _.A. to rest moreB. to stop runningC. to change our life slightlyD. to sleep further long hours28. According to the text, how can we understand why we sleep?A. By trying drugged sleep.B. By lying awake in bed for long hours.C. By living without sleep for a few days.D. By stopping working in a sensible fashion.29. Sometimes sleep doesnt come when it should, because we_.A. feel there may be dangers if we fall asleepB. are afraid our brain will go crazyC. worry too much about our sleepD. are threatened by being eaten up in the jungle30. According to the writer, if you want to have a good sleep when you are in anger, _.A. you need calm waking firstB. youd better tell others your feelingsC. you must keep your mind less livelyD. you should bury your feelings deep in mindText BHow Parents Can HelpUnfortunately, learning does not simply happen. As a mother and ex-teacher, I believe that good education involves not only the pupil and the teacher but also the parents. What, then, is the parents role?The atmosphere at home is bound to influence a childs attitude toward schoolwork. Parents should be positive and notice what their children do well, rewarding success with praise and occasional treats. Under no circumstances should children be made to look foolish for their efforts. Tell a child often enough that he is lazy or stupid and he is likely to become an adult without self-respect. Listening is also vital. Children need to be taken seriously, no matter how unimportant their ideas may appear. It lets them know that their opinions and feelings matter. We must be observant: able to detect physical signs of unhappiness. A child who keeps on complaining of headaches or sickness may well be crying out for help. He may not be up to the work demanded of him. On the other hand, it could be an indication of boredom. On no account should a child feel unable to approach his parents. The lines of communication must be kept open.At the same time, we can help our children to become more independent, and consequently better learners, by giving them a few regular domestic chores that they can carry out successfully. In their free time, active rather than passive pleasures should be encouraged. In other words, reading is preferable to watching television. Above all, we must set an example. Children, in the end, will do as we do, not as we say. If we take an interest in hobbies, so will our children.As they grow older, homework must be their responsibility. We can be of most use not by doing it for them (even if we are able to) but by discussing the problem and helping them to approach it in the correct way. In addition, we must insure that the necessary space and equipment are provided. Teenagers need a quiet, well-lit area in which to study, with access to dictionaries and reference books. At this difficult age, although they may not show it, they also need to know that we care.31. According to the text, parents should _.A. not criticize their childrenB. be very strict with their childrenC. give more encouragement to their childrenD. influence their childrens attitude toward schools32. The underlined part Listening is also vital (in Para. 2) means that it is also important _.A. for children to listen to their parents adviceB. for parents to take their childrens ideas seriouslyC. for parents to notice what their children do wellD. for children to know their parents opinions and feelings33. Sometimes, a child may complain of headaches in order to _.A. go to see the doctorB. make his parents boredC. refuse to offer help to his parentsD. get more attention from his parents34. According to the text, which of the following is the most important for better learners?A. More hobbies in their free time.B. Development of independence.C. Better communication between them and teachers.D. Good balance between active and passive pleasures.35. It can be concluded from the text that _.A. better environment helps teenagers in their schoolworkB. both active and passive pleasures are of most use to childrenC. there should be more communication between parents and teachersD. parents play a more important role than teachers in their childrens educationText CImmigrants (移民) Suffer from Losing Their IdentityLanguage is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they dont have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation , their children .are losing their identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesnt help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help them succeed in the U. S. ; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents country, they will probably feel different from other people there too. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their background by teaching them the parents language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.36. According to the text, what is the problem of the first generation immigrants?A. They have lost their identity.B. Their children are losing their identity.C. Their children speak different languages.D. They cannot speak their native language.37. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. most of the immigrants cant understand EnglishB. most of the immigrants are not successful in careersC. to some degree, the parents are to blame for their kids, loss of identityD. the second generation immigrants cant understand their parents language38. My aunt taught her children Korean _.A. so that they knew they were of Korean originB. so that they would be more successful in the U. S.C. because she didnt want them to speak EnglishD. because she wanted them to respect her39. The writers cousins felt different in their parents country because they _.A. had never been there beforeB. behaved quite differentlyC. couldnt understand the languageD. had different facial appearance40. According to the text, the native language is important and valuable to immigrants in that _.A. it gives them self-confidence and better chanceB. it makes the second generation love their motherlandC. it helps the second generation to understand their parentsD. it strengthens the family ties and reminds them of their identityPart B Meaning Guessing (5 items, 1 point for each item)Directions In this part of the test, there are five sentences taken from the above three passages.
