We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please dont make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence to drop litter in the street.When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.Id like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.Now, are there any questions?60. Who do you think is most likely to make the speech?A. A guide. B. A person who makes laws.C. A teacher. D. An English teacher.61. How many laws are there discussed in the speech?A. Three. B. Four.C. Five. D. Six.62. The main purpose of this speech would be _.A. prepare people for international travelB. declare the laws of different kindsC. give advice to travelers to the countryD. inform people of the punishment for breaking laws63. From the speech we learn that _.A. in this country, if you are under 18 years of age, you may not buy alcohol, but your friend can buy it for youB. you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of ageC. because the traffic moves on the left side of the road, you must use pedestrian crossing when crossing the roadD. you cant make noise except at nightCIf you want to bee a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you e across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and bee skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will bee perfect.64. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.65. To improve your reading, when you read you should _.A. look up all the new words in the dictionaryB. think about what you are reading activelyC. spend more time studying grammarD. copy as many words and sentences as possible66. The author seems to agree with the view that _.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. You neednt practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing67. The passage is mainly about how to _.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. improve your English as quickly as possibleD. bee fluent in speaking and writing English DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearng.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.68. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.69. The author tells the experience in childhood in order to _.A. remember the good old daysB. let readers follow the exampleC. explain the law of overlearningD. help readers understand the importance of knowledge70According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.A. a step towards studies B. a result of overlearningC. a special case of cramming D. a skill to deal with math problems71What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. Its helpful only in a limited way. B. It causes failure in college exams.C. Its possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students learning interest. EClara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night - her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International mittee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.72.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was_.A. honest B. caringC. talented D. modest73After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton_.A. joined the army and fought bravely B. went to Europe for further studyC. continued to work as a teacher D. did a lot to help soldiers74Seeing Clara Bartons arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt_ .A. excited and grateful B. proud and joyfulC. shy and nervous D. sad and sorry75.What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?A.
