Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. When I was in the 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me. And then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.

In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last ten minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for ten minutes staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By the 8th grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was

What is the tone (语气) of the writer in the passage? A. Happy.

From the passage, we know ________. A. the middle-aged lady was warm-hearted

reading at a very slow speed. I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.

I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture. 6.

The main difficulty the writer had in reading in the 7th grade was that ________________________.

A. she often forgot her school reading assignments

B. she had difficulty reading with comprehension

C. she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammar

D. she always looked elsewhere when asked to read 7.

The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because _________________________. A. she was afraid of being found out

B. the reading class was terrible

C. she had to do what others were doing

D. her mother told her to do so 8.

The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _______________________. A. she entered Cornell University

B. she took a course on speed reading

C. her mother helped her

D. she developed her own way of reading 9.

From her own experience, the writer found that _________________.

A. one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowly

B. in order to understand better, one has to read slowly

C. one does not pay enough attention to information if one reads fast

D. many people read fast in order to save time

10. The writer wrote the passage in order to ___________________.

A. prove to readers the importance of higher education

B. tell a story in honor of her mother

C. give a detailed description of different reading skills

D. prove the importance of reading fast

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog. Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules or some vocabulary words-although those are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring (学到) a language is learning a skill, not a body of information. It's much more like learning to swim or ride a bike than it is like learning about the Second World War. That is, you must not only understand the ideas and have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed (习惯于) to using that information in physical (身体的) activity. In the case of learning a second language, the physical activity is speaking, listening, writing, and reading.

You need, then, not only to learn and understand, but also to practice!

Here are a few suggestions on effective practice/study techniques. 1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Go to the lab and work with tapes. Study with a friend, practicing 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 cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute. You may be able to \vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to use them in sentences.

3. Sometimes go back and review \learning is cumulative (累积的). The new skills you learn build upon the old skills you learned in the past. The more you \循环) familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to take in new ones. 4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (害羞) can be a strong barrier to learning a language. Perhaps part of the reason small children readily learn languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.

11. The main idea of the first paragraph is______.

A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learning

B. learning to swim is quite similar to learning about the Second World War

C. understanding the ideas is more important than anything else

D. language learning is a process of acquiring different language skills

12. One of the major benefits of studying with a friend is that

_____________ .

A. it makes one talk and listen in a particular language

B. it builds the friendship between two friends

C. friends can share tapes or other learning materials

D. one studies better with a friend

13. Cramming is not helpful in learning a language because _________.

A. it is of little use to study without a clear purpose

B. nothing can be learned through cramming

C. anything learned that way can hardly be put into use

D. one may not find enough time to use at the last minute

14. The purpose of reviewing old topics is

_____________________________. A. to build up a good base for new skills

B. to enjoy the good ideas contained in them

B. A Few Suggestions on Studying a Foreign Language

C. Why Learning a Foreign Language Is More Difficult Than Anything Else?

D. An Introduction to Language Teaching and Learning

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog. When the Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita visited Washington in 1988, he started an address to the National Press Club with a brief statement in English, in which he admitted that his accent was so bad that a translator was needed for the rest of his speech.

Takeshita's problem is not unique in Japan. Many Japanese are eager to use the world's most popular foreign language but have trouble mastering it even when they are, like Takeshita, well educated. The Japanese like to

decorate their own language with many English loaners, such as raisu for rice and sarariman for salary man. English is fashionable in Japanese advertising, packaging, and technology.

Yet for all that intense interest, when English is spoken in Japan, it is generally spoken poorly. The problem is rooted in a much-praised educational system. Japanese schools turn out top graduates in mathematics and science but fail in teaching spoken English. The teachers, speaking in Japanese most of the time, are generally successful in instructing students in the complexities of written translation and English grammar, because entrance examinations for acceptance by top-ranked universities stress nothing else.

Dramatic changes in the examination system are unlikely. Yet small signs of progress are visible. This year, for example, the University of Tokyo will experiment with an English listening comprehension test as a minor element of the entrance exam. If it is successful, other universities may follow.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage or dialog. \1981). This means not only such material things as cities, tools, and schools, but also non-material things, such as ideas, customs, family patterns, and languages. Put simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, \

Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, maintaining culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture. It reflects culture in the broadest sense, is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises a society's

historical and cultural backgrounds. Language also displays a people's approach to life and their ways of living and thinking.

We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.

Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another and that each culture is unique. As cultures are diverse, languages are also diverse. It is only natural then that with difference in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between people of different cultures. Understanding is not always easy.

Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words, and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as native speakers of that language see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their society. It means learning to understand their \Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable from learning culture.
