Reading Comprehension Passage 1Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say” or “whole-word” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn” activities recommended by advocates (倡导者)of “open” classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run-Spot-Run” readers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate” in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He saidand more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmedthat another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(语音学), is far superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.C 31. The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is_.A. only logical and naturalB. the expected positionC. probably a mistake D.merely effective instructionA 32. The author indicts the look-say reading approach because_.A. it overlooks decodingB. Rudolf Flesch agrees with himC. he says it is boringD. many schools continue to use this methodD 33. One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonics method is_.A. look-say is simplerB. phonics takes longer to learnC. look-say is easier to teach D. phonics gives readers access to far more wordsB 34. The phrase “touch off” (Line 1, Para.3) most probably means_.A. talk about shortly B. start or causeC. compare with D. opposeC 35. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Phonics approach regards whole-word method as unimportant.B. The whole-word approach emphasizes decoding.C. In phonics approach, it is necessary and logical to employ decoding.D. Phonics is superior because it stresses the meaning of words thus the vast majority of most common words can be learned. Passage 2Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods a term whose meaning varies greatly frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others. The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance (优势) of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basis for folklore. Almost daily the public is besieged (围攻) by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are mislead if they believe organic food can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead. A 26. The word “advocate” in Line 2, Para. 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. proponents. B. merchants.C. inspectors.D. consumers.C 27.

It has no fixed meaning.D. It is seldom used by consumers.A 28. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because _. A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foodsC. conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foodsD. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food cropsB 29. From the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than conventionally grown foods are often _. A. careless B. mistakenC. thriftyD. wealthyD 30. What is the authors attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods?A. Enthusiastic. B. Favorable.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.Passage 3There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set ones goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.”C 31. In the first paragraph, the author implies that_ are essential in achieving success.A. ability and goals B. goals and determinationC. ability and environment D. goals and environmentC 32.The word “frugal”(Line 3, Para. 2) means_.A. wealthyB. wastefulC. thrifty D. miserableD 33. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because_.A. their life is miserable B. they do not live in peaceC. their goals are too low D. they are not rich enough by their own standardsD 34. The last paragraph implies that_.A. we should have high goalsB. success means achieving great goalsC. success means taking a walk in the parkD. success means trying ones best at what one really likesA 35. This passage mainly talks about_A. the definition of success B. how to achieve successC. how to set goals D. the importance of goalsIII. Cloze Different countries have different cultures, which cause some misunderstanding. Here is just one example of it. In many countries, people will tell you what they think you want to hear, whether or not it is 21 To them, this is the _ 22 thing to do. To Americans, though, it is considered confusing, even _23 to avoid telling the true facts. Even when avoiding the truth is done only to be polite, it 24 no difference. In America, this would still be considered the wrong thing to do. It is helpful to 25 that different cultures consider some matters more important than others. For Americans, 26 and truth are most important. One of the 27 things that can be said about someone in America is that “you cannot trust him.”28 Such differences in values among the many cultures of the world, we come to know a certain truth.

In some countries, a man may realize the traveler is tired and 31 to reach the next village. 32 he will politely say, “Just down the road.” He thinks this is more 33 , gentler, and therefore the answer the traveler wants to hear. So the American drives alone for many more hours 34 he comes to the village. The traveler is angry, feeling 35 . He thinks that the man has purposely 36 to him. The man must have known quite well what the 37 was, the American traveler thinks.If a visitor to the United States asked an American standing at the edge of a road how far the next town was, the American would think it dishonest if he said it was near 38He knew it was actually 24 miles away. 39 he, too, would be sympathetic with the tired traveler, he would say, “You have a long way to go yet; it is at least 24 miles more.” The traveler might be disappointed, but he would know what to 40 .In this case, there would be no misunderstanding.21.
