Passage 12

Learning a foreign language is not only a matter of reading some grammar rules and learning some vocabulary words but also learning a skill. It’s as much like learning to swim or ride a bike. That is, you must not only understand the ideas but also make your body accustomed to using that information in physical activity which includes speaking, writing and reading.

You need, then not only to learn and understand, but also to practice! Here are a few suggestions on effective practice techniques.

1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Study with a friend, and thus participate in speaking and listening. Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced with your own lips.

2. Study day-by-day. You can’t get by in a foreign language course by cramming at the last minute. You may be able to learn vocabulary items that way, but you can’t teach your mouth to use them in sentences.

- 25 -

3. Sometimes go back and review old topics and vocabulary. You learn new skills on the basis of old ones. The more you review the familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to take in new ones.

4. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Making mistakes is part of learning. 1. The first paragraph lays stress on the fact that______.

A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learning B. language learning is a process of learning different language skills C. reading grammar rules is more important than anything else D. learning to swim is quite similar to learning to ride a bike 2.

5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Passage 13

In the book Future Shock by Toffler the writer describes the great changes in family life because of science and industry.

In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires worker who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And larger families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and woman. A small number of families may take raising children as

- 26 -

their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.

1. One reason why Americans had big families in the past was that _____. A. uncles and aunts lived together with them B. they lived on farms near their relatives C. all Americans lived on farms

D. three generations lived together in one family 2. Industry is different from agriculture in that ______. A. it is more important to smaller families B. it is more important than agriculture

C. it needs a lot of workers to raise more children D. workers in industry often need to move 3. Child-raising families adopt children ______.

A. whose parents need to move for work

B. who want to live in a different family with more children C. whose parents live on farms and do not want to educate them D. who don’t like to stay with their parents 4. In the future, most families will ______. A. not be free to change jobs C. raise children as their main work.

B. raise more children

D. have only the husband and the wife

5. The book Future Shock is mainly about ______. A. Americans B. the great changes in family life C. the great changes in science and industry D. Alvin Toffler

Passage 14

Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example, can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃ without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one tome, then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer’s day, most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.

For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many desert

- 27 -

plants, they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high temperature. In addition, some species spend all or most of their life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants, only adults leave the underground nests, and they do so only to gather food or to defend the nest against attack.

1. Compared with other desert animals, the camel can bear ______. A. only a little change in body temperature B. a constant change in body temperature C. a very low body temperature

D. a big increase in body temperature

2. The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that _____. A. it can store water in parts of its body B. it can drink a lot of water at a time C. it can produce water through breathing D. it can maintain different body temperatures 3. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights? A. Because animals cannot sleep at night. B. Because it is easy to find water at night. C. Because it is cooler and safer for most animals. D. Because animals can find food in the dark.

4. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert? A. Because they are not afraid of the heat. B. Because they have a waterproof skin.

C. Because it is not difficult for them to survive there. D. Because it is not difficult for them to find food there. 5. Most insects live below the ground because ______. A. it is easy for them to build nests there B. it is easy to find water there C. it is easier to find food there D. it is cooler there than on the surface

Passage 15

If you ever screamed yourself hoarse watching a football game, or if you ever ran miles along a river bank, you know the delight of sports and exercise and their hold on our lives. Both as spectator and participant you can, no doubt, recall many experiences, some joyful, others bitter. Maybe you remember the fear you felt at learning to ride a bicycle, or the spirit of teamwork that allowed you to win the freestyle swimming relay at the town pool.

Perhaps you still hear your coach yelling at you, or recall your father’s consoling words, “Well, you did your best.” Perhaps some moments in sports gave you a better understanding of your character, such as the time you let a friend score a basket when you yourself might just as easily have made the points. Maybe you are one of those enthusiasts of lifetime sports, running or swimming or biking to keep your heart healthy. For you it is not simply competition that excites

- 28 -

your blood: you enjoy the thrill of your body in action and the joy of mental release that accompanies vigorous exercise and those moments will stand out vividly in your lives.

1. You scream to show that you get excited when______. A. running along a river bank B. watching a football game C. biking in fear of falling down A. most joyful, least bitter C. more joyful, less bitter A. Your father’s consoling. C. Your coach’s yelling

Passage 16

What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches (7.6 cm) taller. So we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brain a great deal. Even so, we are now only making use of only about 20％of our brain’s capacity. As time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more—and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

1. How does the author convince us that future man will be different from today? A. By proving that man has been slowly changing all the time. B. With many of his convincing statistics. C. With his vivid detailed descriptions.

D. By making wild guess about future man in 50,000 years.

- 29 -

2. If men are now averagely 70 inches tall, how many inches were they five hundred years ago? A. 3 inches B. 73 inches C. 7.6 inches 3. The future man needs larger brains because ______. A. he wants to have a physically changed brain. B. he already uses his brains a great deal today.

C. he wants to use about 20％ of his brain’s capacity. D. he will have to use his brains more and more. 4. Which is NOT true about the future man? A. His fingers will become more sensitive. B. His arms and legs tend to grow weaker. C. His eyes will become weaker for overuse. D. His larger brains result in a physical change. 5. What is the main topic of this passage? A. Weaker eyesight results from less use. B. Man changes with time going on. C. Man’s brain keeps growing larger. D. Man grows taller with time going on.

D. 67 inches

Passage 17

The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.

In the United States, it is unusual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to(赋予)telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(认为)it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important role. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.

1. The word “misunderstanding” can be explained as ______. A. standing on one’s own two feet B. failing to attend a party C. standing in one’s way

D. failing to understand correctly

2. If you telephone someone early in the day in the U.S., it means ______. A. you want to show your concern for him

B. you are not kind enough

In the U. S. it’s usual to telephone someone very early or very late. B. In American social life, time plays a very important role.

C. In some countries, making an appointment too early in advance may be considered foolish. D. In the U. S., time chosen for telephone call is important.

Passage 18

Do you still remember the first time we met? It was a Sunday. I was sad because my cat had died. I went to Green Lake to be a part of the busy world to forget it. I wandered（徘徊）aimlessly around the lake. Suddenly I heard a voice. I raised my head and saw your eyes. They were so blue and bright. You asked me whether I could help you take a picture. I did, without the slightest hesitation.

After that, you said I looked unhappy. I told you that my cat had died, and you told me about your dog. We talked for a long time that afternoon. Our topics ranged from Shakespeare’s play to Longfellow’s poetry, from interesting stories to the traditional Chinese customs. I was really glad that you were fond of literature too.

Then after answering a phone call, you had to leave in a hurry. Although it was a great pity that I did not know your name and how to get in touch with you, I was in high spirits after talking with you.

The following day was the first day of my last term at college. The last two classes that morning were English and American poetry. We sat silently in the classroom to wait for the new teacher. It was a great surprise to see you entering the classroom and saying you were our teacher. I could hardly believe my eyes. It was like a plot from a novel or TV play.

Passage 19

A famous doctor once attended a little boy who was dangerously ill. Thanks to his skill and care his young patient recovered and was soon able to get up and run about again. The child’s mother was very grateful and she called on the doctor to thank him for what he had done for her son.

“Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little boy’s life. I do not know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, but I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sight of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it. “

The doctor looked at that little purse and said coldly, “Madam, little presents like that are nice between friends but a doctor needs to be paid properly for his attentions.”

The lady was too surprised and hurt to reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “perhaps you will tell me what your fee is, doctor?”

“Fifty pounds,” he answered.

The lady opened the little purse that she had made and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor and put the other three notes back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good-bye to the doctor, she went out of the room.

Passage20

To speak for success at a speech contest after enough preparation and practice, you still need confidence and follow the tips（小建议）given below:

First, don’t just “read” the whole speech. You do, of course, need a backup at your side in case you forget what you want to say. Or, you can hold a short outline, only for occasional glances.

During the speech, tell yourself that errors are unavoidable but the point is to find smart ways to make yourself clear. Reduce anxiety by pausing and taking a breath. If you feel that you’ve just said something far too quickly and that your audience couldn’t keep up, simply say: “Let me just go over that last point again”. If you suddenly realized that you’ve just said something wrong, simply say: “Oh, sorry, what I really meant was…” Or if you want to add a key fact to your argument, you could say: “I should just mention one more thing before moving on.” There’s something even worse that can happen: you can’t think of the right word. Don’t worry. Be honest about it. Instead of standing there sweating, you could say: “My mind is blank. You know, I can’t think of the right word for this.” Then, suddenly, someone is reminding you that time is almost up. No hurry. Take your time and sum up your speech in a few sentences. Finally, don’t forget to thank your audience for listening to your speech.

1. Before making a speech, the speaker should not have ______. A. any confidence C. any practice

B. any preparation D. any contest

2. During the speech, the speaker should not ______. A. glance the outline B. read the whole speech C. have a copy of the speech D. hold an outline

3. According to author’s tips, if the speaker felt he had said something too quickly, he should ______.

- 33 -

D. find smart ways to exit

4. If something worse happens during the speech, the speaker should definitely avoid ______. A. apologizing B. being honest

A. reduce his anxiety and correct all the errors he made during the speech B. hurry up to stop talking immediately

C. forget about it and continue speaking

D. sum up his speech in a few sentences and express his thanks to the audience

Passage21

Earthquake! People all around the world fear earthquakes because they cause so much damage and death. Consider the following facts: One earthquake struck San Fernando of Southern California on January 17, 1994. The earthquake caused 57 deaths, over 5,000 injuries, and extensive building damage. It was reported that the earthquake was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, causing millions of dollars in property damage.

On January 17, 1995, the earthquake struck south-central Japan. This earthquake resulted in over 5,400 deaths and many thousands of injuries. The great damage costs were 150 million dollars because it happened in the business area of the city.

These statistics (统计数据) are very frightening, but in fact, the number of earthquakes has decreased in recent years. However, because of improved world communication, people receive more news and information than ever before. We have been able to locate more earthquakes with more earthquake-measuring stations in the world.

Many scientists are trying to predict (预报) earthquakes, but these predictions are very uncertain. Scientists cannot figure out the exact location, time, or force of an earthquake. Furthermore, the predicted earthquake may not take place. So, most people are trying to design buildings and bridges that can survive earthquakes. People can reduce loss of life, injuries, and property damage by properly preparing themselves, their homes, work places, and communities for a major earthquake.

1.Why was the earthquake in San Fernando one of the worst natural disasters (灾害) in U.S. history?

A .Because it caused 57 deaths.

B. Because it caused 5,000 more injuries.

C. Because it caused deaths, injuries, and extensive building damage. D. Because it caused invisible damage.

2. Why did the earthquake on January 17, 1995 result in such huge damage in Japan? A. Because it struck the business area of the city. B. Because it was not predicted.

C. Because it struck Japan at midnight.
