Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSome people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes languages so much easier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakesSuccessful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the language. Instead they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear and to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn it.41. The best learners of languages _.A. are the most intelligent students in the classB. are the best at memorizing long vocabulary listsC. have the best language learning techniquesD. are the best at mastering rules of grammar42. People who learn languages easily seem to have a _ _ for learning them.A. desire B. skillC. knack D. will power43. According to the passage the key factor in language learning is probably .A. the learner B. the teacherC. the textbook D. the classmates44. Successful language learners are _, _ learners with a purpose.A. diligent, energetic B. independent, activeC. diligent, active D. dependent, passive45. Successful language learners learn the language by _.A. following a strict study schedule every dayB. relying on teachers and classmatesC. learning the meaning of every word they hearD. trying to communicate and learning from mistakes Passage TwoAs you are learning English, its very possible that youll be interested in England. Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names England, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islands one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland. Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So tile English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island or Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?46. English was first spoken in _.A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland47. Britain is divided into _.A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the three.B. Scotland is the largest of the three.C. Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.49. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is _.A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage50. Which of the following is an independent country?A. Wales B. ScotlandC. Northern Ireland D. The Republic of IrelandPassage ThreeTraditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served? In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.51. We can know from the first paragraph that the author . A. believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the community B. believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society C. thinks some experts require too much of universities D. thinks universities should do more than just research and teach52. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that . A. society is not satisfied with the present college education B. interference from the government is unwelcome C. teachers are forced to do what they dont like to do D. its a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use53. The example of Aristotle indicates that . A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates B. universities should stop teaching philosophy C. high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities D. universities should put more stress on computer science54. According to the passage, literature, music and the arts . A. contribute directly to economic growth B. are as necessary to man as medical and social services C. are justified since they bring profits D. are a good way of earning money55. The author implies that . A. economy should always be a nations first consideration B. universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses they will offer C. successful musical plays are part of national economy D. economic growth is not the only need of mankind41- 45 CCABD 46-50 BBCCD 51-55 BACBDPart Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
