word/media/image1.gif. Reading Comprehension (40 points, 2 points for each item)

Passage 1

Many language learners fail to realize that when they listen to their native language they do not actually hear every word. They also fail to understand that they integrate their knowledge about language with their existing experience and knowledge of such things as topic and culture, and do not need to hear every word; this means that learners often have unrealistic expectations and try to understand each word of a listening text. As some experts point out, “such total comprehension…is a misconception of how normal comprehension works in the native language.” Learners’ anxiety may get worse when a classroom procedure does not provide adequate context for the text or prepare the topic by activating their prior knowledge; in other words, a procedure which asks students to “Listen to the text and then answer the questions.” This tests listening ability rather than aiming to teach it. Adults returning to English language learning whose earlier experiences have been of this nature may well have developed negative perceptions of their ability as listeners and a major task for the teacher will be to build confidence. This means recognizing anxiety and taking care to provide positive classroom experiences. For example, the teacher needs to make sure that the pace and length of a listening activity is not too taxing as the concentration required in trying to comprehend unfamiliar sounds can be tiring.

1. When they comprehend their native language by listening, many language learners tend to think that they________.

A. need to hear every word B. have linguistic knowledge

C. know the culture very well D. have some culture experience

2. According to the passage, foreign language learning depends very much upon________.

A. native language competence B. ability to concentrate

C. experience and knowledge D. personal preference

3. This passage is mainly about________.

A. writing B. speaking C. reading D. listening

4. The language teacher should________.

A. develop negative perceptions of students’ ability

B. activate the prior knowledge students have

C. refer to the past experience of adult learners

D. help students understand their native language first

5. The word “taxing” in the last sentence probably means________.

A. costly B. demanding C. anxious D. interesting

Passage 2

Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five. On being asked his opinion, he said, “Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral. If I were to make a choice between them, I would rather choose the latter. Anyway, it’s better to live than not to live at all.”

A lively discussion followed. A banker, who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out, “It’s a lie. I bet you two millions. You would not stick in a cell even for five years.”

“If you mean it,” replied the young lawyer, “I bet I’ll stay there longer; make it fifteen instead of five.”

“Fifteen! Done! ” cried the banker. “ Gentleman, I bet you two millions.”

“Agree. Two millions for my freedom,” said the lawyer.

So this wild, ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement. During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, “Come to your senses, young man, before it’s too late. Two millions are nothing to me, but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because you’ll never stick it out any longer. Don’t forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell. I pity you.”

And now the banker, pacing from corner to corner, recalled all this and asked himself, “Why did I make this bet? What’s the good? The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions. Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life. No, no! Rubbish! On my part, it was the caprice(心血来潮) of a well-fed millionaire; On the lawyer’s part, it’s the pure greed of gold.”

1. The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because________.

A. he was younger than the banker B. capital punishment was immoral

C. it was better than capital punishment D. the banker would give him ＄200,000

2. The author considers the bet between the lawyer and the banker________.

A. interesting B. ridiculous C. capricious D. instructive

3. The word ‘company’ in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A. companions B. bankers C. lawyers D. prisoners

4. The banker was extremely excited because________.

A. he was too rich to care for the money

B. he was sure of his winning the bet

C. the lawyer would give up in the 15 years

D. the lawyer would give up before 15 years

5. In the end, the banker considers his bet with the lawyer________.

A. rational B. reasonable C. beneficial D. unreasonable

Passage Three

The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “We worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city， they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room！ Well， that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.

Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous？

Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. “At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16-year-old Julia. “So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly， they make parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.

Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.

Passage 4

The word health can be used in a number of ways. In the past, health is only the absence of disease or illness. Today, though, health has a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes how you feel physically, mentally, and socially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health. You can understand the need for a broader definition if you think about how health in your life is different from health in your grandparents' lives.
In 1900, the main causes of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria(细菌) and viruses(病毒).If you had lived then, the danger of your dying from pneumonia(肺炎) would have been three times greater than the danger of your dying from cancer.
The diseases that were most common in 1900 affected people of all ages. It is not surprising, then that around 1900; the emphasis of health was on freedom from illness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1900 can be prevented or cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation(卫生). Most diseases now are likely to occur later in life. You as a teenager will probably not have to think about the same threats to your health as your grandparents did.
These improvements in health conditions mean that not only can you now enjoy a better life, but you also have a greater chance of having a longer life. Controlling diseases has increased the life expectancy in the United States. Generally, people born more recently have higher life expectancies. Since 1900, the life expectancy in the United States has increased by more than 27 years. It has increased from 47 years for those born in 1900 to 74 years 1981.

VI. Translation from English into Chinese (10 points)

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself. Talk a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don't wait for an apology。 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Try to see thing from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.
