As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.There are several reasons for this.Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). Thats to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention(注意力)to girls education.61. China Youth says that more and more _. A. boys are clever than girls B. boys cant go to school C. girls have come into colleges D. girls begin to study at school62. 42.14% refers to(指) the number of _. A. girls at schools in 1998B. girls in colleges in 2001 C. boys at schools in 2001 D. boys in colleges in 199863. The writer gave us _ reasons to explain the question.

Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed advertisements of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back” “Easy and funny” “Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”. Of course, it never happened quite like that. The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and takes much time. Good teachers, record, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the students work for him.66. How many languages are very important in the world? A. A few. B. Few. C. About 1500. D. Many.67. If we want to learn English well, what shall we do? A. We should study it without any help. B. We must do a lot of practice. C. We need to get much money back. D. We must live in England or America.68. How does the writer like the advertisements in the newspapers or magazines? A. He thinks the advertisements very expensive. B. He thinks the advertisements are true. C. It never happened quite like what the advertisements said. D. He believes” Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back”.69. Which language is easy to learn? A. English B. Chinese C. Japanese D. The mother language70. Which countries use English as the mother tongue? A. China and France. B. Japan and Italy. c. England the America. D. Germany and France. 第II卷 (75分)一、选择正确的词组完成下列句子。(每题1分，满分7分) the fastest runner becomes famous make friends with as much as as well the same as the most points is ready to 1.
